1x1x1x1 is the main antagonist of the massively multiplayer online game platform Roblox.
Originally a test account created by one of Roblox's administrators, Shedletsky, the latter then started rumors about 1x1x1x1 being an evil hacker. Years later, 1x1x1x1 started hiding in multiple modern Roblox events, until serving as the main antagonist of Roblox's The Classic and The Games events.
There were many rumors that 1x1x1x1 was a hacker or leader of an exploitative group. Although the rumors about 1x1x1x1 have long been debunked, many users continue to believe them, along with the John Doe and Jane Doe rumors.

| ~ (Unknown, came from an old exploit report MrDoomBringer received.) |
| “ | I posted this in a thread that subsequently died. I'm posting it here so you can refer back to it later. Keep the link to this forum. Distribute it. Tell people the truth. Let's talk about where the name comes from. Long ago, Telamon posted a number of stories about Roblox's backstory to the News. One of these included mentions of 2x2, the first brick. Copied over and over, every other brick were it's descendents. Then, in a footnote, he mentions the evil 1x1x1x1. So that's where the name comes from. Blame John. Let's talk about why people say he's a hacker. A guy who's (sic) name is long forgotten (not Zuka) found an exploit (not CheatEngine) to insert control scripts into online places. He sent me a message, telling me he had something to demonstrate. I joined him in Crossroads, and it started raining heads saying things along the lines of "He's coming back!" and "1x1x1x1 is coming for you!" and the likes. People in the server freaked out, I found it hilarious, he gave me instructions on how it works and I reported it to the devs. End of story. Other people, like Dignity, would find others way to insert scripts, and people would assume that they have something to do with "the hacker group" 1x1x1x1. Truth is, it was one guy playing off of a Roblox Lore thing. | „ |

Trivia[]
- His toy's appearance came from a fan model, which is now his official appearance.
- During RB Battles Season 3, there were rumors that the hooded figure ordering Russo was 1x1x1x1 (amidst other rumors about the former’s identity). This was later proven false, with the hooded figure revealed to be JP.
- His boss fight in The Classic was panned due to being "simple and boring".
- 1x1x1x1 is part of the first series of Mystery Figures series in Roblox toys, although he has an appearance that does not resemble any of 1x1x1x1's real avatars (for example, the figure wears a green Domino Crown that is not in the Roblox catalog), which is simply Roblox's referencing to the "Hacker" part of his myth.
- The first account, named 1x1x1x1, was created in 2007. The account was renamed to "request59245234857238947" and its ID is now 81619. This was due to a name reset exploit that occurred in Roblox in 2010. Apparently, the perpetrators were xSCENEx, whom MrDoomBringer called "Long Forgotten".
- The recreated and more well-known 1x1x1x1 account was created by a user named makkapakka3 in August 2010. This is because the account shared the same passwords as other accounts he had previously created, and he had publicly stated this.
- Due to their similarities, 1x1x1x1, along with Guest 666, is considered by some as "Roblox's Herobrine".
