League of Legends hacked, users' information stolen, passwords reset
North American players of the “League of Legends” video game may have had their personal information accessed, the company behind the popular online game has warned.
Riot Games has warned players that account information including usernames and email addresses were accessed by hackers, alongside salted password hashes.
The security of your information is critically important to us, so we’re really sorry to share that a portion of our North American account information was recently compromised. 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.
