  This is some of the stuff the Roblox hacker could have done, and did some of to at least a few accounts. If you can't hack a site/service/application, the customer support reps may help you out for a little bit of cash https://www.vice.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  The hacker sent messages between them and the insider. According to LinkedIn, this person worked for a contractor that works for Roblox. Targeting customer support reps is fruitful for hackers; lots of data access, potentially fewer controls in place https://www.vice.com/... http…
