Ukrainian police detain hackers suspected of stealing thousands of Roblox accounts for resale
Police said on Monday the victims included both Ukrainian and foreign players whose accounts contained valuable digital items, rare equipment and in-game currency purchased with real money.
Ukrainian law enforcement has detained a group of local hackers suspected of stealing more than 610,000 user accounts from the gaming platform Roblox and reselling them for cryptocurrency on Russian websites, authorities said.
Police said on Monday the victims included both Ukrainian and foreign players whose accounts contained valuable digital items, rare equipment and in-game currency purchased with real money. Some accounts also held remaining balances of Roblox’s virtual currency, making them particularly attractive to cybercriminals.
The suspects face up to 15 years in prison if convicted and have been placed in pretrial detention while the investigation continues.
