Roblox hack returns, banning innocent players from the platform
A major Roblox hack has returned in a new form, causing innocent players to face bans as they enter and play games designed to trigger an exploit within the platform.
Specific games trigger the exploit, and they typically appear to be ordinary experiences on the sandbox game platform. Players who enter these games, which tend to promise mysterious content, are prompted to enter letters corresponding to commands on the screen.
However, the sequence of these letter presses causes the player to type words that violate the platform’s Terms of Service, resulting in instant bans via Roblox’s automatic moderation tools.
These exploits are similar to the Crosswoods Roblox hack that the platform faced in July, which caused players to get banned after they logged in to certain games. The games spoofed Roblox chat and triggered text phrases that spewed inappropriate words that resulted in an instant ban via automatic moderation. The team behind the hack specifically targeted Twitch streamers to get them to play these games, which resulted in those content creators getting banned from the platform while live on stream.
These hackers, whether they’re the same group or different, also appear to be targeting streamers. A content creator named FallenSynapse first flagged the exploit, posting a Twitch clip where they entered a game called The Silence [BETA] by EdGames11334. After some brief overview text, the game prompts the player to play the game by pressing a specific letter and then follows more letter press prompts to get the player to agree to things like jump scares. When typed in sequence, these letters then spell out words that trigger Roblox’s automatic moderation.
