What happened

In August 2018, the Roblox trading site Rbx.Rocks suffered a data breach. Almost 25k records were sent to HIBP in November and included names, email addresses and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes. In July 2019, a further 125k records emerged bringing the total size of the incident to 150k. The website has since gone offline with a message stating that "Rbx.Rocks v2.0 is currently under construction".

What was exposed

  • Email addresses: The email address you used to register or log in. It is the most common field in breaches because it doubles as your username on most sites.
  • Names: Your first name, surname and sometimes middle name or initials, as you gave them when you signed up. It appears in almost every breach because nearly every account asks for it.
  • Passwords: The secret you use to sign in, stored by the breached service either in plain text, in a scrambled form called a hash, or encrypted. How it was stored decides how quickly it can be recovered.

What to do now

  1. Check whether your own address is in this dataset with the free email breach check.
  2. Change the password on this service and every other site where you used the same password.
  3. Turn on two-factor authentication on your email account first, because it is the reset path for everything else.
  4. Treat calls and messages that quote real details about you as hostile until you verify them another way.
