Riot refuses to play ball with hackers over League and TFT source code, shares update on cyber attack
Riot Games has declared it won’t be playing ball with the hackers behind its January cyber attack that has delayed several League and TFT updates, even after it was confirmed they had acquired the source code for several games.
Riot Games suffered an unfortunate cyber attack late last week: On Jan. 21, Riot shared that “systems in (their) development environment were compromised via a social engineering attack.” The devs promised to update concerned gamers on what the hackers had acquired and how serious it was. At that point, all they knew was that, fortunately, no personal data was obtained by these tricksy cheaters.
