“We thought our new 'Hack-A-Cat' game was a unique opportunity to inspire interest in cybersecurity for a younger audience using Roblox,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO of KnowBe4.

However, some game saves cannot be hacked easily, because the developers will sometimes put encryption in place to prevent gamers from modifying online stats and other global statistics.

Roblox ultimately discovered that someone had hacked a single server of the game, allowing them to circumvent the rules and upload code that clearly violated the company's rules.

Popular online game Roblox has suffered a security breach after a hacker bribed a company employee to gain access to the company's back end customer support panel.
