League of Legends accounts in certain European regions have been hacked, Riot Games notified players yesterday. The EU West and EU Nordic and East databases were breached, with hackers accessing email addresses, encrypted account passwords, summoner names, dates of birth and, for a small number of players, full names and security questions and responses.
Riot Games are saying ”Absolutely no” billing or payment information was breached. Riot have since fixed the security exploit and is emailing all players in the affected region.
“Brandon and I want to sincerely and personally apologize to you for this situation,” Riot’s Marc Merrill concludes his post. “We take your privacy and security seriously, and we’re working diligently to improve it for the better.”
As always in cases like this keep an eye your bank account, change all passwords and never use the same password for all log in details also try and use a password that is not “PASSWORD or 123456″
