Accounts on the popular online gaming platform keep getting hacked. So, how can you better protect your Roblox account?

Some of the schemes used to prey on young Roblox users are surprisingly sophisticated.

Developers of competitive Roblox games say they don't have adequate tools to fight persistent hackers, and it's taking a toll on them.

In a new proposal issued Friday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is seeking to regulate virtual currencies used in Roblox and other video games like US dollars.

The immense popularity of these online games and their highly-developed ecosystems make them a prime target for scams and hacking campaigns. They also act as a testing ground for budding hackers.
