League of Legends compromised; North American accounts and transactions accessed

[Name]

Riot Games has just issued a letter to League of Legends players revealing that North American account information has been compromised by hackers. According to the message, usernames, email addresses, "salted password hashes," and real names were accessed. Riot insists that password information is unreadable but that players with easy-to-guess passwords might be at risk.

Also accessed were hashed and salted credit card numbers from around 120,000 transactions made in 2011. Riot noted that the payment system in question has not been used since July of 2011 and that it is "taking appropriate action to notify and safeguard affected players."

If your information was affected, you will receive an email from Riot. All North American players will be required to change their passwords "to stronger ones that are much harder to guess." In the meantime, keep an eye on your accounts for any suspicious activity.

its a fun escape from the norm i play it every so often they have just screwed up their balance of the game, basically of a roster of 100 champs 10 will actually win you a game. it sucks that this is going on but myabe it will make them pay attention again
