The Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office has filed an indictment against three residents of Drohobych. They are accused of illegally accessing over 610,000 Roblox gaming platform accounts and selling them on Russian resources.
As reported by the press service of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office, the organizer of the scheme was a 19-year-old resident of Drohobych, who involved two of his 22-year-old acquaintances in cybercrimes. All members of the group are currently in custody.
The scammers operated from May 2025 to April 2026. The scheme involved stealing session tokens (cookies) from Roblox users, which allowed them to log into their profiles without knowing their usernames and passwords. The data was then uploaded to special software that checked the activity of the “keys” and automatically assessed the content of the accounts — the presence of game currency, rare equipment, and virtual items.
The stolen data was stored in 357 separate files. Later, profiles with balances or valuable inventory were sold individually, and the rest were sold in bulk or at discounts. The sale took place through their own Telegram channels and a specialized website on Russian Internet resources. Payment from buyers was accepted in cryptocurrency. The average price of one account was approximately 70 Russian rubles, and the total potential profit from the database is estimated at over 20 million UAH.
The attackers then withdrew the cryptocurrency in cash and to their own bank cards. The investigation documented the legalization of almost UAH 2.4 million.
The perpetrators are charged with theft, unauthorized interference with the operation of automated systems, sale of restricted information, and money laundering (Part 5 of Article 185, Part 3 of Article 209, Part 5 of Article 361, Part 2 of Article 361-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). If found guilty, the accused face a long term of imprisonment.
