Police in Ukraine arrested three suspects accused of hacking over 610,000 Roblox accounts and selling them for about $225,000. Officers carried out multiple searches in Lviv, seizing cash, phones, computers, laptops, tablets, and USB drives. The operation disrupted a large-scale account theft scheme targeting gamers and online platforms.
A 19-year-old from Drohobych, with two accomplices, used stolen session cookies to access accounts without passwords. They scanned over 610,000 profiles, identifying those with valuable virtual currency or rare items. Using specialized tools, they verified access and compiled 357 files of high-value accounts. The group then sold these on Russian platforms, receiving payments in cryptocurrency.
