League of Legends is hacked, with crucial user info accessed

Posted on August 21, 2013 by Dissent

Dara Kerr reports that the League of Legends server has been hacked:

Riot Games, which developed League of Legends, announced Tuesday that some usernames, e-mail addresses, salted password hashes, first and last names, and even some salted credit card numbers have been accessed. The salted data is somewhat protected, but if users have easily guessable passwords, their information could be susceptible to theft, Riot Games warned.

The affected users are only those who live in North America. While the accessed credit card information is alarming, it pertains only to records from 2011 and earlier.

“We are investigating that approximately 120,000 transaction records from 2011 that contained hashed and salted credit card numbers have been accessed,” Riot Games wrote in a blog post.
