The report, prepared by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, calls the hackers “Scattered Spider.” In a previous publicly available report, the company said this group is also known as “Roasted 0ktapus” in an apparent reference to the report published by Group-IB, another cybersecurity firm, last year.
That’s a big if, although the documents do say that the two companies remain committed to making Roblox a success in China.The hackers who reportedly hit more than 130 organizations last year and stole the credentials of almost 10,000 employees are still targeting several tech and video game companies, according to a report obtained by TechCrunch. In-game purchases were refunded when LuoBuLeSi shut down, and players may receive bonuses if it relaunches in the future. On top of all this, the documents show that Roblox Corporation expected Tencent to hack its game, which is quite accusatory regardless of the abundant restrictions. The company was also expected to collect and authenticate player names and restrict player time to only a few hours per day. This resulted in Roblox offering Chinese-specific servers, relegating players in the country to those hubs. These make sense on their own, but when coming from a Chinese government that doesn’t acknowledge an independent Taiwan and has committed atrocities against the Uyghur people, it’s easy to see how these rules would simply reinforce a corrupt government’s grip on information. “Must not tamper with historical facts, cultural events, and historical figures” and “must not incite national hatred, promote ethnic discrimination, or undermine national unity” are two standouts.
On paper, these restrictions seem logical.
