Robust Open Online Safety Tools (ROOST) is a new organization founded by Roblox, Discord, Google and OpenAI to build open-source online safety tools.

A dozen malicious PyPi packages have been discovered installing malware that modifies the Discord client to become an information-sealing backdoor and stealing data from web browsers and Roblox.

The lawsuit highlights how Roblox and Discord misrepresented the safety of their platforms, misleading parents into believing they were appropriate for children.

Officials in Florida and New Jersey are scrutinizing popular video game apps Roblox and Discord over child safety concerns.
