Riot Games Stands Firm Against Hackers
Riot Games recently experienced a data breach. Important information on League of Legends was stolen. The hackers managed to get the game’s source code, code for auto-battler Teamfight Tactics, and a legacy anti-cheat system.
Riot confirmed it had received demands from the hackers. Although lost data may lead to the creation of new cheats, the company has stood its ground. It decided not to give in. It reassured players that there was no evidence that their personal data or information had been leaked.
The stolen files also contained some experimental features. It’s still uncertain if they will ever see the light of day. But the potential for them to be leaked remains a concern.
As of now, Riot is closely monitoring the situation. The company is preparing quick hotfixes to detect and resolve any vulnerabilities to prevent a potential influx of new hacks.
The Tencent-owned firm is now cooperating with law enforcement authorities. It is also preparing to release a comprehensive report. It will provide insight into the hackers’ tactics and identify any shortcomings in its security controls. This transparent approach is reassuring. Players can rest assured, knowing the company is trying its best to resolve the problem and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
