1 fonte(s) · 1 atualização(ões) · publicado 22/09/2026 06:00 · coletado há 4 dias

ESET WeLiveSecurity warns that scammers are exploiting demand for Robux, the virtual currency of Roblox, to steal credentials, personal information and money, with children and younger players the main targets. Roblox states that no legitimate free Robux generators, tricks or codes exist. Only earned routes are legitimate, such as official promotions, gift cards via trusted partners like Microsoft, and creator monetization. The article is awareness guidance, not a report of a specific incident or campaign, and it names no threat actor.

Detalhes técnicos

  • Fake Robux generators ask for a Roblox username, surveys or software installs, used for account hijacking, PII harvesting and possible malware delivery.
  • Phishing pages are reached via unsolicited emails, messages or malicious ads and mimic Roblox to harvest credentials.
  • Fake giveaways on YouTube, TikTok and Discord lead to malicious links.
  • Limited-time offers use urgency in phishing emails, posts or ads to push users into sharing PII.
  • Fake gift card offers trade PII, logins or cash for non-existent codes.
  • Any site outside Roblox asking for credentials or "human verification" should be treated as a scam.

Remediação

  • Never share passwords, 2FA codes or PII, and do not enter credentials on non-Roblox pages.
  • Do not click suspicious links or download "Robux generators".
  • If a child was scammed: change logins and any shared credentials, enable 2FA, and confirm the recovery email was not changed.
  • Check linked payment methods for suspicious activity and consider contacting the bank or freezing the card.
  • Scan the device with a reputable security product if malware is suspected.
  • Talk with children calmly and without blame so they feel able to report incidents.
