Intro
In 2012, there were several incidents that occurred between March - July, starting with the April Fools Hack, and what I call the May Madness Hack, and later, a currently unresearched breach on July 21st 2012. These incidents involved pretty much everything you can imagine.
April Fools Hacks
For many years, between 2009 - 2011, the Roblox admin panel was pretty insecure. The April Fools hack happened because of a friend group of PGers who were pass-guessing random 06-08 accounts. Some of these guys were PGing since 2009 given database leak history; and their banlogs (seen in an admin panel video) show they had access to hundreds of accounts (I originally thought they had access to the admin panel since at least march 18th based on these ban logs, ironically, john doe day. but it's possible this date may be unrelated to them. i know at least one of them had been PGing earlier than that tho). After the incident, most of the users involved were IP banned and the site had a rollback. On the lost 30 minute video shoutbox, a couple dozen IPs were banned, and the ban notes claim that literal hundreds of accounts were accessed.
The major PGers that were responsible for doing it were at least these people: McNoobster, Minish, Leeav (probably), and Pheedy. Except most of these guys were not the actual people. Pretty much all of the April Fools people involved were all basically sockpuppeting accounts they did not own, were impersonating people for years, or were joint accounts.
Leeav was originally a 2006 user, one of the few people who recorded footage of 2006, and was also one of the original creators of the Doomspire. Sometime in 2010, Leeav gave the account to a real life friend or family member of sorts (forget which). The new owner of Leeav had a main account named DaveDog. Around the time DaveDog started using Leeav, Leeav was hired as a forum moderator. But he instantly went inactive after that. Davedog nowadays is actually the scripter for Royale High 💀 I don't think anyone knows this. Anyways it wasn't the original Leeav on the account in 2012
The second PGer was Minish. The real Minish was banned in 2009 for unknown reasons and largely left the internet. However, there was this guy who owned hundreds of accounts named Olixx (not to be confused with the youtuber). He used to go by nickrules77. Olixx stole lots of accounts, including DracoSwordMaster's accounts and impersonated him as well, but he managed to PG some of Minish's alts (I think? gotta double check that) and then PGed the Diana account (which i think was originally a david baszucki family account) and pretended that he was the original Minish on that account. He did this for years, I have no idea why. He was a big puppeteer, basically. I'll talk about the other two in a minute.
General Rundown
Around April Fools day, early in the morning, Olixx and DaveDog were PGing random 06-08 accounts, and decided they could've spent all their time PGing an admin. Between 10AM - 12PM, Olixx managed to break into Stealth Pilot by noon of that day. Stealth used to be an admin back in the day, but he moved off these pilot accounts to a new unknown account. Because he was still admin though, his old accounts still had admin controls on it. Once the guys managed to break in they had full control.
Olixx ("minish") soon told this guy called McNoobster of the happenings; olixx got into and changed Builderman's pass, and handed it to mcnoobster. mcnoobster then unbanned a bunch of old accounts. Dignity and Minish were unbanned specifically; Dignity accepted friend requests while whoever was using Minish (I'm guessing Olixx, big surprise) started spawning tons of Robux onto Minish and giving it away on the forums in forms of random donations. (Fun fact, Ellernate was amongst the audience begging for donos).
McNoobster then stole the Roblox account.
McNoobster then gave access to Pheedy. Pheedy then took all admin powers away from other mods, and gave himself admin. Pheedy was (you guessed it) also a sockpuppet account. The actual "pheedy" account was a joint owned by Madcodebrkr and qman1245 in early 2012 or something, and the actual Pheedy was also part of Mcnoobsters friend group under the username Phomton, and he was involved in draining Nintendoboy.
Side tangent: By this point it's worth mentioning their hatred for Merely. Merely was always constantly being threatened. This friend group of PGers and LMaD users hated Merely's guts because he sniped a Domino Crown from Nintendoboy. in early February 2012 (I think) Nintendoboy got hacked and his account drained, his purchase history had tons of McNoobster T-shirts, McNoob also tried to frame Merely for it possibly by the way he named some of the shirts. They very often would frame Merely for things back then and threaten him. On March 28th, a few days before 4/1, Merely got randomly hacked and logged out. McNoobster also talked about cows on every account he broke into for some strange reason. I only mention this because Merely has like two pages worth of Cow decals in his inventory obtained in March 2012. I'm assuming he was hacked by him. He was targeted during April 1st and had a wanwood crown planted onto his account by mcnoobster and then terminated. The ban note was “Hacking a Wanwood Crown into your inventory”.
So McNoobster attempted to try and publish items; he drew up the classic c: face. He attempted to publish it, twice, and also the hai guis face, but he couldn't find a way to whitelist the items to be purchasable. McNoobster has claimed he invited Pheedy on for the sole purpose of helping him whitelist this face, but that Pheedy did not help him and instead gave himself admin. He contradicts this statement in another forum post saying he published the face after Pheedy gave himself admin. Need to research that some more.
It's possible he was the one who granted it to StickMasterLuke, unsure tho. Anyways, "Pheedy" didn't help with the face; I believe qman1245 was given an admin badge, ban hammer, a dominus emp and a domino crown (i think) which means he was online as Pheedy at this time.
After McNoobster published his faces he saw the backlog of unpublished or scrapped items and hats that had been saved up for years and published them all with odd names and pricings. After this McNoobster claims that ROBLOX changed their password back. McNoobster then went on Builderman and changed the password to Roblox again, and then he started posting all the site banner shouts. The Pheedy and Minish accounts soon after this got deleted, and Pheedy's posts were basically purged. McNoobster posted more shouts and published more hats until roblox shut down the site around 9 PM.
Pheedy claimed a lot of accounts like Are92, JJ5x5, Sirloin, and Yorick were under his ownership (on xfire, merely DMs, and in-game screenshots). JJ5x5 had a mcnoobster shirt in his bio for ages, and are92's account and jj5x5's account were impersonated on the forums earlier in the day. I'm unsure if Pheedy was on that early in the day or not, so these accounts might have been randomly shared between pheedy, mcnoob, Olixx, and DaveDog. It's worth saying I'm only putting leeav/davedog on here because McNoobster stated he was involved with PGing in the early morning until Minish broke into the admin account. Mcnoobster also stated he later logged off. While DaveDog was only involved in PGing people earlier in the day, it's possible he didn't really do much in the hack. That being said, his IPs are connected to these comp’d accounts, so I'm assuming he also shared ownership with these accounts for a while. There is actually a pretty large list I was able to obtain of accounts they stole during this time (just by comparing IPs from old database leaks). I'm currently researching all that exactly happened but you can probably see the damage based on the current Roblox wikia page, (which is mostly accurate now luckily).
Another person likely involved was osyris. Osyris now is a Roblox admin or mod or something. The person who owns the account now is not the same person who did the hack. hawky076s is the current owner of Osyris, the original person is no longer on the account. I dont know much about osyris, but i do know he may have been involved in draining the nintendoboy account. he also has one of his places on one of mcnoobsters accounts.
There was probably other people involved too, currently they only had small roles or i havent looked into them yet but that's the vaguely correct story. lots of the stuff that they did is catalogued on the wikia at least, and I mightve not mentioned here. It's also worth mentioning someone controlling the JJ5x5 account referred to themselves as THE MINISHTERZ

May Madness Hack
This section may be a bit unorganized as I’m still researching it.
Sometime during late April, rumors spread that people were still in the admin panel. Around late April, users were spreading a video around that let people access an exploit, suspected to be related to cookie swapping on sitetest3, a Roblox test site. Theory goes that while the site was open, someone could create the username for an admin account that didn't exist on sitetest, but existed on the main site, providing a cookie they could use to login on the main site, and gain access to the entire website. One such user who had discovered this bug was Ellernate. It’s not confirmed this was the exact bug in question though. After discovering this bug, he thought it’d be wise to use his powers for “”good”” by punishing people for scam trades and also… SQL spawning in Domino Crowns to give to people? As well as some other stuff.
Ellernate, and his friends, iTrapped, Caleb244, Twister92, and Johnathan777 would all usually work on websites together and hang out offsite. In fact, this was kind of the origin that led to the site BLOXCity. He later introduced the admin panel to his friend group, of which chaos ensued. Twister and Ellernate would record 30 minutes of the admin panel, of which only four minutes of this footage has been found today. Johnathan777 would give iTrapped some items allegedly. Caleb would hack people like LordVade, Pieperson50, and Clockwork. iTrapped, after gaining access, would give himself a Frigidus and DarkHeart of which were deleted from existence. He also hacked into streetx’s account and stole 1.5M robux from TheGamer101. Some other people affected were DrRoblo, which Ellernate originally stole a Domino Crown, Emp, Frigidus, and Inf from because of him being a scammer, as well as Gamer3d, Merely (who was hacked, but stopped in time), jaredvaldez4, Dignity, who was untermed and hacked, Stealth Pilot, Clank227, and bloxerbadge1197. Many of these peoples items were also sold for 1 Robux on the market. Increasing was unterminated as well. Some other people may have been involved too like madcodebrkr. This mostly all happened on May 1st - May 6th.
The incident is known as the May Madness Incident (okay, well, I personally call it that based on an old fan-blog post). One of his friends ended up reporting the bug anyways, getting them all banned. Admins didn’t believe that another hack had even occurred, so it took lots of convincing to rollback stolen goods. iTrapped was mostly blamed for the incident, and took the fall for pretty much all the 2012 hacks. For some reason, Roblox admins viciously banned him, even censoring his name from the website. He was permanently IP banned from the Roblox website.
Ellernate, sometimes known as Nate, was part of the "trio" typically grouped together by the infamous 2012 April Fools incident misinformation. He was never involved with April 1st, but he, Caleb, and iTrapped were mistakenly blamed for the incident. This information began to be perpetuated by YouTubers and Roblox mythos, especially KonekoKitten, who popularized the misconception. The information also made its way onto the Fandom Roblox Wiki, where it remained as unsourced information. Instead, Ellernate was responsible for some incidents around early May 2012.
Ellernate was actually a joint account for a while. He shared his main account with two others, namely travinator90 and BlueKnight02 (Preponderance, also known as Maurice). It's been said in Jan 2012 that the original Ellernate ended up being inactive and Travinator took over, but this doesn't seem to be the case later on. It seems like the original Nate was the one who did the May incident.
He was seen inactive on the forums from April 28th and 29th, and seen on the 30 minute admin panel video talking to Twister92 on XFire on April 30th. On May 1st, he was responsible for force-trading items between the user DrRoblo, SQL-injecting four Domino Crowns (one to give to coolboy10000, and another to slaythedragon, after selling them from two alts) and possibly other small things. He also spawned two more crowns, but didn’t seem to do anything with them.
Sidenote: Slaythedragon’s emails were proven, via an admin panel image from May 2012, to be linked to the “are” accounts. Maybe someone from April Fools was friends with him?
Ellernate was banned late into the night on May 2nd after the method was reported by Twister92, who obtained a red banded top hat, and… avoided a ban. It might’ve also been a result of him sharing the method with iTrapped, getting them caught. It’s a shame, as Ellernate seemed like he enjoyed his time on Roblox. He was also the embodiment of “:3” I’m not gonna lie.
Ellernate continued abusing the admin panel whilst using alt accounts known as Builderkid, iethalz, and Ellernatealt until May 5th or 6th, when it was likely patched. Ellernate used the account ShinArticuno aswell but only for chatting it seems. He slowly left Roblox altogether. ShinArticuno was probably PGed for the 100,000 ID and Ellernate says he bought it from coolboy10000.
Ellernate's username was changed to VillainIsCool1295 due to an exploit in Feb 2024 that allowed people to steal usernames from deleted accounts. Players found a way to abuse the DSA support form to reset a bunch of rare, famous, and inappropriate usernames. Because of this, there's a current imposter going around.

iTrapped was a known exploiter on Roblox throughout 2012. He is usually blamed for having gotten them all caught and banned, as he allegedly created lots of duplicate items and Robux, rewarding it to various accounts likely owned by him and/or the friend group. Due to him having taken the blame, he was permanently IP banned from Roblox. Not only that, but every alt account he made was viciously found and banned by admins whenever noticed. Such vicious moderation was never implemented to this degree on Ellernate, let alone the actual April Fools perpetrators.
iTrapped claims to have been given a Darkheart and Frigidus via admin panel by Jayden, who asked him what items he wanted on May 1st, out of the blue. Around May 2nd or so, he was given access to the method, shared by Ellernate. He did admit himself that he took someone's Domino Crown, Darkheart, Dominus Frigidus, and more items. It’s not entirely confirmed if Johnathan777 actually gave him these items or if iTrapped was lying.
Isaac's Roblox history has yet to be fully documented, but just looking at his 5 quadrillion banned alt accounts, you can make out quite a lot. In Dec 2011, Isaac mentioned that Roblox inspired him to code websites, learning HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, and later C++. In April 2012, Isaac mentioned he knew Javascript and knows how to code for at least five years by now. In May 2012, during the incident that got him banned with Ellernate, when asked how he was able to get into the admin panel, he simply replied "I proxy". He currently is known as G0dfrey, as well as a slew of dozens and dozens of other names, as he's had so many alt accounts. He's also known as Isaac Hymer, the creator of BLOX City, and later, Brick Planet, where Ellernate remained an administrator on the site for some time under the name Nate.
Isaac was creating social forum websites with avatar customization since at least 2011 or 2012, just like Twister. He helped Twister and Jayden with TwistMania in 2011/2012ish. One of his known websites was 'Social-Paradise' in 2012. It was one of the first websites to be categorized as a 'SANS' (Social Avatar Network Script) website. These types of sites were typically catalog and forum simulators, sometimes with flash minigames and shoddy avatar-customization. These types of sites were often regarded as Roblox Ripoffs on the forums, and oftentimes raided or DDoSed by the Roblox forums, or other competing SANS sites (such as TheGamerLand). But they were mostly forum and avatar-customization simulators, sometimes containing limited edition items.
SANS sites are an entire other rabbit hole. It’s possible that his attack on TheGamer101 during the May hacks was due to website competition, but I can’t confirm this yet. There were also rumors that the SANS sites were used for obtaining passwords he could use on Roblox, but I couldn’t find evidence of this or anything. Worth a mention. After talking to a contact who used to be in their friend group, often times, the group would all work on a website for a while and hang out on it until they got bored. This trend seems consistent with Isaac’s websites, all the way up to BLOXCity and later Brick Planet, which Ellernate continued to moderate on several years ago.
He’s most famous for constantly rug pulling his projects with no refunds. There was a running joke that he was always in the shower, which was the reason for BLOXCity's slow development on a proper client engine being released. He's also known for resetting the BrickPlanet/BLOXCity database several times. Also known for alleged credit card fraud because of him constantly closing and re-doing the BLOXCity and Brick Planet websites with no refunds. He was also banned from Roblox for credit card fraud in 2013, and for using his parents credit card.
There was a leak of Trello documents relating to Roblox and funnily enough they had a whole image relating to iTrapped in there.
Speaking of Roblox bans. Jesus ####ing Christ man. There's a lot. He has a whole army of dead accounts. Some of the older ones MIGHT be PGed, but I can't really tell and don't care much. Some of these also might be false but I have reason to assume most of them due to forum posts/bios. Almost all of these are banned. The one's I've discovered are: soldier123840 (9/20/8), isaac995 (11/7/8), isaachymer (?) (5/16/9), yoitsisaac (2/7/10), TheButtPolice (5/8/11), iTrapped (11/14/11), MySpaceOnly (7/9/11), xDominant (1/21/12), DubstepTheory (5/1/12), GodOfLimiteds (5/12/12), DubstepLegion (6/27/12), xDTx (7/6/12), NotAlpha (9/3/12), avaworld (3/19/13), DubToTheStep (7/16/12), Sentagon (7/17/12), NoDoom (7/24/12), TheDubstepMan (10/21/12), DoctorEvidence (11/14/12), SecretEvidence (1/4/13), BrilliantTheory (2/17/13), BrilliantAlt (2/20/13), isaac840 (?) (5/20/13), ForeverBrilliant (5/24/13), IsaacLegion (6/12/13), IsaacLegion1 (6/19/13), IsaacLegionII (?), McFlies (6/23/13), LordCroce (?) (8/5/13), Hashbury (8/10/13), TierraRobada (8/11/13), HashburyII (9/10/13), iITrapped/TheMidnightGod (10/20/13), GodUprising (11/10/13), Rodiz (5/12/14), isaacplus/jasonofficial/h4rm/NoDoomII (6/10/14), Superiorize/MrNoDoom (7/11/14), Godfreyy/g0dfrey (8/11/14), ConexLeader (1/6/15), DTrumo/drbando (1/22/15).
During 2012-2014 he was often doing Roblox clan stuff. During Fall 2013, in his account bios, he kept stating his life was messed up and might be offline often. On the McFlies account from June 2013, he actually posted a Roblox goodbye note, saying goodbye to a list of users, and stating in his bio that "tightblox18 shouldn't have been deleted nor the RIU group", (RIU being Roblox Infantry Unit), and mentioning he quit for taking full focus into school that year, and tons of cyberbullying. He would also state he didn't care about his reputation anymore. Other accounts he'd make around this time he would often say he resented Roblox and hated the platform, and would constantly call himself a leader and a god. The aforementioned exploit in Feb 2024 that allowed people to steal usernames from deleted accounts ended up changing the iTrapped account's username to NinjaGamer36200. Looks like no one was able to reclaim the old username despite these efforts.
A little known fact, before Ellernate, Caleb, and iTrapped were banned, they actually each had a Dominus. The iTrapped account used to have the Ice Crown and a Frigidus equipped before it was removed at some point and given to other accounts. 1eFRL might be the current holder of it, but I'm a little confused on the history seen on Rolimons. iTrapped kinda had an ice theme going.
Caleb was a known scammer on the Roblox forums for some time. He was a friend of the others. It's said by some that he owned several admin accounts from the April Fools hack, and still had a few remaining, in which he used in secret with his two most trusted buddies, Ellernate and iTrapped, when May rolled around. One admin account alleged to have been used at this time was Ellissar, alongside iltaLumi, which Twister may have been using.
Caleb was a known PGer and scammer. One tactic Caleb would do was commonly pretend to be a girl, in which he would then take users limiteds and/or account. One incident was with the account KirbyCaden. Kirby was an old famous developer from around 2010 who got PGed in late 2011 by caleb244. A post in November 2011 confirms that Caleb got the account by "fake-dating" Kirby. Caleb claims he asked for Kirby's email to send him pics, probably pretending to be a girl. After obtaining the email, he then asked to borrow one of Kirby's other emails, as he did not have an email of his own. When Kirby gave him one, he was able to use the password on the alternate email to access Kirby's main email, which had his accounts, KirbyCaden, and KirbyCaden2, verified to it. A simple password reset on both of them allowed Caleb to gain access, in which he stole his items, all because apparently KirbyCaden screwed him over IRL. A bit overkill but, alright. He also did this same tactic to CZ5. After KirbyCaden was taken it's assumed Caleb used the account to scam people with. Kirby was later given to FlickerdoMC probably, who may have been one of the friends of the trio.
Caleb’s involvement extends to him stealing limiteds from people and hacking into accounts during May. On May 3rd, Caleb hacked LordVade. He lost his Windforce, Venomshank, Illumina, Ghostwalker, Red Tango, Ice crown, STF, PSTF, Red Helm, Yellow Helm, and a 5.5k member group called the X-101st Legion Main Army. He might’ve been the one to hack Clockwork and Merely too.
While Ellernate was kind of just an innocent trader, and iTrapped can be described as a childish exploiter, Caleb, however, was pretty intimidating compared to the rest of them. I mean, comparatively speaking. They were all kids. I only mean this in the sense that Caleb actually acted like le spooky haxor. However he was usually bluffing. Caleb was a pathological liar. Around March 2012, he made a weird post about buying Roblox stock threatening to ruin the economy if things didn’t go his way. He also hated Merely. Big surprise.
Caleb, honestly, was the hardest to track down. When we finally found his contact we realized his real name wasn’t Caleb. Not only was he the most threatening (seemingly..) of the trio, but he's also the most elusive. The other guys were all clearly kids, trolls, or the equivalent of ":3" but every time I see a post of Caleb, he's just a force of nature. Honestly if you want a le spooky haxor type, here he is. Caleb also hated the use of “:3” which is pretty funny considering how much Ellernate used it.
Caleb also went under the name Gliza, Chonka, Phantasy (which might be his current main) and also called himself, and the friend group, Team Gliza.
(Note: Nick = Caleb, Jayden = Johnathan777, Kyle = Vilicus, Isaac = iTrapped.)
Excerpt from one of his accounts
"This is a resting account of what used to be caleb244. You may think I have "ruined" your lives, but I have not. ROBLOX has. The only thing I did was change ROBLOX. You have not been forgiven. And what is my name, you ask? My name is Legion, for we are many. I am Own3r. AnonymousOwn3r. Gliza. Caleb244."
Finally, just like Ellernate and iTrapped, Caleb also had a Dominus. People always draw him bald but no one knows that he was actually themed around the classic Emp.
Phantasy, and Gliza
Twister92, also known as "Twist" or "Ryan", was a Canadian website designer and programmer. He was one of the people part of the May incidents, alongside Johnathan777 (known as Jayden), Caleb244, Ellernate, and iTrapped. He was rewarded a RBTH in mid May, likely for being the one reporting the vulnerability. The "30 minute video" refers to a video that was recorded around 12:43 PM on Monday, April 30, 2012, by user Twister92. It is currently lost, and only a 4-minute cut of the video exists. It contained footage of Twister and Ellernate on the admin panel messing around. It's speculated the video was on his channel in early June for a short time before it was removed.
Johnathan777, also known as Jayden, typically collaborated with Twister92 and iTrapped to create various SANS websites. Some examples include Jwist, Jwister, and TwistMania. He may have introduced Twister and his other friends to the trio (Ellernate, Isaac, Caleb). He and Twist would often start up websites for them all to hang out on. He might also know more about the April Fools/May vulnerability. iTrapped (Isaac) claims that Jayden gave him the Dominus Frigidus and Darkheart during the May incident.
Twister92 would obtain a red banded top hat afterwards for reporting the exploit, and Roblox would switch over to a new admin panel domain on May 5th to avoid further incidents. Evidence of them using Simulping was seen in mid-late may.
In June, the 30 minute video was posted. The video only stayed up for a few days before it vanished. Only four minutes of the video remains today.

I’m Twister92’s biggest fan and it’s true.

Ellernate is an administrator on Brick Planet (Formerly BLOXCity) on the website and Discord, owned by iTrapped, known under the name "Nate" much like the other websites the friend group would frequent previously. Although he is inactive and has moved on for the most part. Caymene has been asked on Discord around May 4th 2021 about the April 1st incident, where he confirmed he wasn't involved (at the time, unknown knowledge). He also logged into EllernateAlt, provided context on ExProHacks, mentioned he thought the 30 minute video was long gone, and confirmed his old friend "Twister" recorded the video (also new information at the time, which could be substantiated later as facts). He could be confirmed to be the real person given the knowledge provided, and lack of theatrics, uncharacteristic of a typical impersonator. Lack of advertisement under the name Ellernate, re-use of an old obscure avatar from 2011, as well as being able to log into a proven Ellernate-owned account substantiate this claim aswell.

Post Merely made on May 5th
There is a post of Merely saying he was being told his own email by people taunting him. There is also a conversation between iTrapped (on streetx’s account) and Ellernate on his alt, on the forums. I can’t provide images of either of these because archive.froast has been extremely slow the past few months and it’s just not loading. They kinda set the tone for this all though. And I can just link them later.
Tittanpenguin (who might’ve been involved in 4/1 too) and zagiz, who obtained tons of Robux and items. Also maybe skatertater. Haven’t looked into yet. Skatertater makes sense as he was good friends with Madcodebrkr. Savoca is a user that Ellernate would get in some feuds with later in May, and he was apparently a kid who had PGed a bunch of really rich accounts in early-mid 2012. Vilicus might also be involved in the April and May stuff. Vilicus was also friends with the people behind 4/1, the event in which he also got SQL'd items. Vilicus offered his Infernus for 400k around May 2nd in which Ellernate attempted to buy it. The user Zaffre might be the same person. Later in the day I believe, Ellernate would make a post titled "The truth about these 'hackings'" and stated "its a KLer. like seriously. no sql'd items or new admins or mods or w/e like april first. if a hacker wanted to terrorize us he would freaking be posting on admin and banning etc ._.". This appeared to be him covering his tracks. User iValianT replied "I thought you would be smart to stay away from this. And be quiet about it". Need to look more into these guys. bladesonic225643 and Eastside4life might've also been involved in some of these incidents; the user blade of which his main is unknown, and East of which was owned by several people back then. The user masterBlock may have also been involved in some way.
The July hacks
I dont know anything yet but here’s some random stuff
Around July, users like Stealth Pilot would come online, striking fear of another incident, but it was mostly people like Olixx or McNoobster allegedly logging into accounts they still owned from the 2012 hack according to Ellernate. Unconfirmed.
Here’s a screenshot of something.
An Informal Retrospective
While the incidents would live on in infamy, over the years, YouTubers and false Wiki info would accidentally lead to the two incidents being meshed together (thanks a lot, KonekoKitten). Many kids nowadays hail Ellernate as some sort of king of hackers, as if he took over the website on April fools. In reality, it was not him, or iTrapped, but rather, a few practically unknown people who shared many accounts together and impersonated famous users for years. Ellernate and iTrapped were only part of a similar exploit in May, which didn't involve website meddling. McNoobster was pretty vocal about his involvement. Many of these guys appeared rather goofy or childish (I mean, they were kids). The only mysterious entity involved in all this that I could totally understand being threatening was caleb244, as he was a lot more odd and has remained pretty much the hardest person to trace down lol. He was the most cryptic; to be honest. McNoobster and Olixx pretty much got away with it all. Pretty much all of these people in the present day are all programmers. McNoobster works at a game company funnily enough.
The original Minish was actually trans. There is a rumor that Minish passed away from suicide after a long battle with their gender dysphoria in April of 2017, although this has been debunked.
If you’re interested in exprohacks, here’s some bonus info.
