Motherboard spoke to 11 people connected to Roblox beaming, including victims, the people who administer the marketplaces where people then sell Roblox items, and hackers themselves. Some of the items sold on these marketplaces likely include hacked items.
So-called beamers are able to profit from stolen Roblox items via massive dedicated marketplaces that handle at least tens of thousands of underground transactions and which take a cut of each sale too.
“There’s a whole community where people beam, steal limiteds and sell them for USD or cryptocurrency,” Asil told Motherboard in an online chat. It was his stolen item, now being sold on the Roblox underground.Īsil, it turned out, had been “beamed”-Roblox slang for getting hacked and your items stolen. The item this person was selling had the exact same serial number as Asil’s: #918. Asil said a friend originally gave it to them, and added he originally shared the account with a friend before they gave him full control of it.Ī day later, a friend of Asil’s found someone selling that same rare face item for Bitcoin in a Discord channel where users peddled Roblox items. Limited items in Roblox come with unique serial numbers, adding to their prestige. The hacker targeting Asil stole a rare skin that makes their Roblox avatar look like it’s licking its lips, as well as some Robux, Roblox’s currency.
