2019 Roblox Security Breach

The 2019 Roblox Breach is an incident that took place on January 9, 2019, in which many popular games were set to private by throwaway bot accounts. The names of the games were also changed, and new places were added into a game's universe, which may have allowed unwanted access into source codes and datastores of games. Some games that were affected include Jailbreak, Welcome to Bloxburg, and Doomspire Brickbattle. A temporary fix to the issue was added about an hour after the incident started.

It is speculated that Roblox experienced a minor security breach, but it is currently unconfirmed, as Roblox has not made an official statement.

, a user most known for Doomspire Brickbattle, made a Reddit post about his two most popular games being affected, then asking if Roblox was hacked or not. He then showed a screenshot of two botted accounts that had updated Doomspire Brickbattle with the improper permissions to do so. Other developers soon followed suit on the Roblox DevForum.

Many big YouTubers, such as greenlegocats123, KonekoKitten, iSoToxic, and legobloxian have uploaded videos regarding the incident.
