Troy Hunt, the engineer behind haveibeenpwned, said the leak was posted in 2021 but according to an unnamed source didn’t spread outside of niche Roblox communities, while at the time the company did not publicly disclose the leak or alert anyone affected. The leak then appeared on a public forum a few days ago.
“Roblox has now contacted everyone affected," said the company in a statement sent to Hunt. >>>
So they definitely knew about it, and definitely weren’t going to do anything about it, until it became more widely known. Yet another reason to hate this horrible, stupid company. I so wish I could convince my daughter to drop Roblox. I’ve even offered to pay for a private Minecraft server for her and all her friends.
