2012 April Fools Terrorist Attack

The April Fools Hack of 2012 was a cyber hack that took place throughout the country. The Federal Office of Administrators (OFA) responded quickly to the attack and

as soon as the drama began, this Office began an investigation called the April Investigation. The alleged cyberhackers entered the admin panel, belonging to the OFA.

Background
According to investigations by the OFA and the Government, the incident started when the user Ellernate, iTrapped and Caleb 244 managed to enter the OFA administration panel, this was achieved when the same user created an account in SiteTest3 with the name of a OFA administrator.

On April 1, 2012, Ellernate logged into an administrator account at SiteTest3, obtaining his .ROBLOSECURITY cookie, he used the warning banner and promotions from unauthorized users.

The Robloxian economy was involved during a discussion between Minish and Merely. Caleb244 is said to have taken over Minish's account, and Minish bought Merely's famous Domino Crown, which was Merely's favorite avatar store item. The ROBLOX forum soon exploded with thousands upon thousands of related discussions and messages about the events. Two of the users involved were banned from the country.

Soon after, users Pheedy and are17, both accounts under the control of leader Ellernate, became moderators and used their elevated privileges to unban Minish. The prices of hats in the avatar store dropped enormously during this time, and the hats were thrown per minute for 1 Robux, causing millions of people to quickly buy these accessories from the catalog, looting was also reported in several supermarkets and shopping centers in various cities, including the capital, greatly affecting ROBLOX's economy. Some names of the hats were also changed, such as Explosive Hair that was changed to Rocket Hair, Hooded Spacelord to Noob Hood and Mementero Mori to Candle Skull. This was done by user iTrapped ..

The perpetrator released several new Roblox assets during this time. He first released a new face in the avatar store with the title "c:" on the official Roblox account for 100 Robux. The only person who bought it was Stickmasterluke, whose account was assumed compromised, and anyone else who tried to buy it received an error message.

It is speculated that the 1dev2 account was one of the compromised accounts. Many items were placed in his inventory during the event and his avatar was changed multiple times. Subsequently, an OFA moderator banned this person (1dev2 was barely mayor of Welcome to the Town of Robloxia". This ban was never revoked, but 1dev2 was possibly allowed temporary access to his account after the event, which during that time he uncopylocked his town "Welcome to the Town of Robloxia", allowing multiple people to use the map model to create copies. of this town.

Roblox's Government Response
After all this activity occurred, the president ordered martial law and later reported in a statement that they were trying to repair the monetary system. The country website returned to normal overnight on April 1. The OFA test admin panel was updated and the official Roblox avatar store was closed until the next night.

In a Roblox Government post on April 2, it was announced that "(Roblox) experienced a site issue the evening of April 1st..., and (they) took the site offline". They noted that "Several assets were released from (the avatar shop) backlog that were not ready for production", and "Several accounts were incorrectly granted large amounts of ROBUX; some of these ROBUX were subsequently traded with other accounts". Some items were updated with new prices, while other items were withdrawn from sale. Face "c:" was changed to "Dr. Smyth Face" and was temporarily available for purchase.
