![]() For other companies though it is most likely some data about financial transactions – things they actually delegated to Tipalti. In particular, they are not likely to lie about their access to the major amount of Tipalti’s data. ![]() What is out of doubt though is hackers’ access to some of the data. Claims about Tipalti’s clients being hacked are most likely just the attempts to scare all the involved parties and make them pay. Hackers often exaggerate the total damage, especially when it comes to collateral damage. Is it that dangerous?ĭespite how threatening all the situation looks, I’d take it with a grain of salt. They either do not specify any sums and, what is more important, types of data leaked from the game developer. To avoid this from happening, both mentioned companies should pay the ransom. Hackers say they will publish the data of more victims (supposedly other Tipalti clients) in the months to come. This may be the sign of less than significant amount of data the hackers managed to leak.Īt the same time, some serious threats faced towards Roblox appear in the text. Twitch though is mentioned only in the listing title, without any further references in the text. Actually, Roblox is not the first time a victim of a ransom hack – the same ALPHV gang hacked them in 2022. The worst part about this hack is that hackers managed to compromise two client companies, namely Roblox and Twitch. Tipalti representative’s claims regarding the hack Roblox and Twitch Fall Victim to Tipalti Hack That especially contrasts with the official response of the company, given to the Israeli media Calcalist. And in the context of several companies taken as collateral, this sounds more like an attempt to ruin the company’s image. Well, this is not a rare occurrence, but threat actors rarely speak openly about this. Despite all of the rumors, however, no official information has been released from Lucky, g00by, or any of the Blox Fruits developers at the time of this article's publication.…given that Tipalti’s insurance policy does not cover cyber extortion and considering the behavior of the executive team in general, observed through internal communications, we believe the likelihood of them reaching out on our terms is unlikely, regardless of the sensitivity of data in question… Cybercriminals' explanation to unusual hack flowĪnother detail the hackers uncover is the involvement of an insider. FE isn't completely foolproof, however, as hackers like g00by have developed ways to exploit around FE blocks and cause the damage that happened to Blox Fruits regardless of the implemented filter.īecause g00by presents himself online as an insouciant, unapologetic, dark humor-centered content creator/person, some community members, such as popular Roblox YouTuber Sharkblox, believe that the hack could be one elaborate "prank" or scheme from g00by, and that Lucky isn't actually involved at all. When an experience has FE enabled, changes or edits made to the code by hackers will not show up in the server for all players, and will instead be filtered out and removed. In this quote, Lucky mentions the alleged famous hacker g00byd0lan (g00by), who is known for being able to bypass FE (Filtering Enabled) features in Roblox experiences. The exact quote that mentions this connection is as follows: "WHY DID YOU MAKE MY BUNNY EARS ERROR BACK IN 2017 AND EXPOSE ME ON PURPOSE? NOW I HAD TO TURN TO MY GOOD FRIEND G00BY, THE FAMOUS FE BYPASSER, TO HELP ME SINCE YOU WOULD NOT." Though there's been no confirmation from either side since these events took place in 2017, the January 2023 hack has led many players to assume that Lucky believes the Blox Fruits developers were the ones who tipped the Egg Hunt moderators, and Roblox, about his exploits. ![]() During the 2017 Egg Hunt event, however, Lucky took his hacking abilities too far for Roblox's liking, and was, assumably, removed from his position after moderators were tipped that he had added the ability to place scripts (exploits) inside the infamous Bunny Ears 2017 avatar accessory. Before Luckymaxer was, presumably, let go from Roblox, he served as a data miner of sorts for the company, checking to see how Roblox as a front-facing platform could improve by "hacking" certain parts of the website and attempting to change it for the better. These messages also made sure to credit Luckymaxer as the one behind the hack, stating that the reason for the takeover was related to his expiration as a Roblox Admin in 2017. ![]()
