Developer Context
The trigger for this update was a DevForum post dated 2026-03-27 in "Welcome & Introductions" where a developer said the bad behavior was hidden from the owner view and looked like fake paid admin bait.
That points to a classic hidden backdoor/scam flow: invisible script + fake monetization UI.
So this update focuses on two core fixes first: script visibility and purchase ID verification.

Why You Should Care

• Players lose less Robux to fake prompts when purchase calls are verified.
• Creators avoid "scammer" reports and keep community trust.
• Small teams can do this in short weekly checks instead of emergency panic fixes.

FAQ

1. Q: How do I start if I cannot see the virus right away?
   A: Clone your place, then scan scripts/modules in core services (`ServerScriptService`, `ReplicatedStorage`, `StarterPlayer`, `Workspace`) for unknown code and external `require(...)` calls.
2. Q: Do I need to shut down my game on 2026-03-27?
   A: Not always. If fake purchase popups are active, temporarily disable affected scripts first, then push a clean update.
3. Q: What is the fastest way to stop fake admin pass bait?
   A: Remove any purchase call that points to unknown pass IDs, then publish an in-game note telling players which passes are official.
4. Q: How often should I run checks after cleanup?
   A: Run a quick audit every 7 days and after adding any new free model, script pack, or external asset.
