What to do if a pupil's account has been "hacked", coins have been spent on unwanted items, or a pupil's speed has been altered.

We want to reassure you that the perpetrator isn't an anonymous hacker from far away. Instead, the culprit is another child in the same school or even the same class who has logged in with the "victim's" username and password.

That gives you an idea that the breach was made possible by either the child themselves, by the teacher (inadvertently), or by accident.


Children 

If someone has spent your money then we're very sorry to hear this. The good news is your teacher can get your money back and change your password. Remember not to share your password with anyone, not even with a friend.

If you were the child who logged into someone else's account and spent their money - YOU MAY BE CAUGHT, even if you did this from home. You need to consider how upset you've made the person whose money you've spent.

A good rockstar is an honest rockstar and that sort of behaviour is dishonest. You should promise to yourself to not do that again and apologise to the other person who worked hard to earn that money.
