Jakarta (Indotelco) - An anonymous hacker recently published an internal document online that reveals how Roblox, one of the world's most popular gaming platforms for children, stores content. The paper provides an overview of how platform predators target children of children and how the platform is used to care for children. Additionally, the problem identified in the document is that while Roblox's system only reports 100 percent of submitted reports, about 10 percent are actionable. This shows that even on gaming platforms where content is moderated, there is a significant risk to children. Roblox is an online gaming platform that allows users to create their own simulation games and virtual places to play in different locations or invite other users. There are harmless and very popular places where users can choose a pet and take care of it or use its character to overcome obstacles. This type of game is practically unlimited, and the number of daily users will reach 50 million by the end of 2021, that is, school children. "Unfortunately, in the game world, users also encounter online predators who may be participants of the chosen game or even authors. Their threats can appear either in the game world - they often show aggression or invent gameplay. For example, a world theme can be used the Roblox game to create a phishing resource to steal logins and passwords from accounts and then extort money from victims; or, under the guise of in-game currency (Robux), users can be offered to register under real names or pay for a "winless lottery" that only results in a loss Physical, says Kaspersky security researcher Andriy Sydzienko. Although Roblox has a content management system, you can't completely rely on it. It can be very dangerous for experienced students who may not know the basic rules of cyber security. Here are some rules that will help not only protect your data, but also to protect you and your children harm her online:
Do not provide your real name, city, school, or other personal information that could be used in actual attacks on your identity; communicate only with personally known users; Don't mess with strangers on Roblox or anywhere else; Use a unique and complex password and always log out at the end of the game, especially if you choose to connect from an unknown device. Remember to use two-factor authentication; Roblox uses an internal content monitoring system, and if you discover unwanted advertising, Internet fraud, or various types of attacks or aggression by you or other users, you must report it to a moderator; Critically evaluate what you encounter in the game world. Abusers can use a variety of methods, including social engineering. For example, they may offer you a reward in the form of in-game currency (Robux) for personal information. If someone shows you this, it's most likely a "self-service" scam. Use an antivirus solution and parental control software to keep your child safe online. (Rial)
