Free Robux Lures Used in Phishing Campaign Targeting Children's Messenger Accounts

Scammers have launched a new wave of attacks aimed at children and teenagers by promising free in-game currency for Roblox, Brawl Stars, and Standoff 2. The scheme, uncovered by specialists from F6, uses short YouTube videos that direct victims to phishing sites disguised as reward platforms. One prominent site branded as NovaDrop tricks users into selecting a messenger and game before presenting a rigged roulette that awards a fake prize of 25,000 coins. To claim the reward, victims must enter a phone number and six-digit verification code, which actually authorizes the attackers in the chosen messenger. Once inside, the criminals can read conversations, view documents and media, access contacts, and send messages to the victim's friends while sometimes remaining undetected. The attackers are increasingly focused on hijacking existing accounts due to difficulties in purchasing new Russian profiles for their operations.
