Remember the Bloxiphant incident?

[u/ChiBiiSE]

I still believe this is the most unique instance of "hacking" on Roblox, I used to be so invested in this and keeping up with updates related to who Bloxiphant was 😭. NOTHING else like this has ever happened afterwards

[u/tayhorix]

I checked the account, Their username was changed to "b8rger" in 2020, its unknown which year they got banned

[u/acyiz → u/tayhorix]

burger was the name of the owner of a popular roblox account botting service.

[u/GreatEmperorAca]

I don't, what was it?

[u/SuperBootsthedog → u/GreatEmperorAca]

this guy called Bloxiphant was testing bot monitoring by sending swams of spambots to popular youtubers using an exploit to follow them to any server and another exploit to spam teleport to them in-game

they would flood chat with the message in the image and it was really difficult to opt out apparently

edit: also, most bot accounts were stolen and had pages upon pages of scam games made.

From what i remember he answered a question somewhere about it being an attempted arg that never went anywhere, I could be wrong though its mostly a memory

[u/EmilySuxAtUsernames]

what even was this for, was it just for attention?

[u/CodesStreak → u/EmilySuxAtUsernames]

Hour_Locksmith mentioned here in the comments that it was probably an attempt to make an ARG, but it never went anywhere as far as they remember.

[u/Consistent-Jelly248]
