Riot Games has informed League of Legends players that their North American database has been compromised. Usernames, email addresses, passwords, and some personal information like first and last names may be at risk.

Apparently, credit cards were also at risk in the hack. Riot Games is currently investigating over 100,000 transactions that might have been part of the massive privacy breach.

Riot is looking to remedy the problem by reaching out to players that might have been affected by the hack, and asking them to change their passwords to something more secure. In addition to the password changing, Riot says that they will be adding new security features into the fold, which would use two-factor authentication.


Note: I don't care about this game I just wanted to inform you.

Just because you haven't been hacked YET doesn't mean you won't.

They might still have your username and password. So it would be wise to change your password ASAP

That's only cards though. Their account themselves are still vulnerable.

QUOTE: What we know: usernames, email addresses, salted password hashes, and some first and last names were accessed. This means that the password files are unreadable, but players with easily guessable passwords are vulnerable to account theft.
