Kids Are Obsessed With Roblox, But Is It Safe?
When Bailen Meyercheck learned that his Roblox avatar had suddenly changed, the 11-year-old immediately knew his account had been hacked. Roblox, an online multiplayer game used by millions of players each day, is an important part of the fifth grader’s social life, as it is for many kids his age. As soon as he realized what happened, he took steps to secure his account, which included turning on two-factor authentication. Unfortunately, he had created his account with a now-defunct email address and said he lost years of hard work. “My avatar, my Robux [in-game currency], game passes, and games I had created got deleted. I lost all of the progress I had made,” he said.
