《Roblox》是一款在欧美地区深受小朋友欢迎的多人线上游戏,玩家可以在游戏中创造自己的玩法跟外观,但因为玩法过于自由,有时候会让有心人士入侵并干扰其他玩家活动,像是在游戏里面进行助选这种事情。
根据BBC报导,有接近一千以上帐号遭到骇客入侵,并被用来宣传川普竞选活动。他们会向帐号的好友群广发讯息,内容都是「请父母把票投给川普」,外观装扮还被改成川普竞选活动的相关装扮和颜色,在社群间引起不小的混乱。
There is a terrible event of hacking in the Roblox community in which Roblox accounts are being turned into Trump Advocate Bot Accounts. You can look it up on Twitter. This is true. I have no clue why they would hack accounts to advocate Trump. It's quite hysterical. pic.twitter.com/IdlhZmBeJG

由于《Roblox》多数用户都是未成年的孩童,这种单方面的政治资讯其实并不适合在游戏中出现,目前官方对此事件未做出任何回覆。
