Riot Games’ CEO Twitter Gets Hacked, New Game Revealed

Riot Games CEO Twitter Gets Hacked, New Game RevealedWe’re sure many gamers out there are curious about their favorite game’s developers and what they are up to next. Naturally these plans are usually kept a secret until it’s time to unveil them, but we suppose some are just too eager and in the case of Riot Games’ CEO, Marc Merrill, he had his Twitter account hacked by a hacker who refers to himself as simply “Jason”. While masquerading as Merrill, Jason took the opportunity to reveal one of the developer’s games which was called, League of Legends: Supremacy. The title was trademarked back in 2012 and while some speculated it could be a new mode for the game, it turns out that Supremacy is more of a trading card type of game.

The hacker threatened to release all the artwork from the game, but surprisingly did not follow through. Merrill has since confirmed that his account was indeed hacked and that the screenshots released by the hacker were that from one of the many prototypes that Riot Games was experimenting with. It is unclear if Supremacy will ever see the light of day, but for now it looks like at least part of their plans, past or future, has been revealed, but what do you guys think? Would a League of Legends trading card game be something you might be interested in?

    League Of Legends Hacked; Account Data, Credit Card Info Stolen

    League Of Legends Hacked; Account Data, Credit Card Info Stolen

    We never like to hear or report on a company announcing a service of theirs has been hacked, and as a result you now have to scramble to reset your password for the service and additional services you may have reused that password with. Today, we unfortunately have to report Riot Games’ extremely popular League of Legends has been compromised.

    League of Legends players around the world don’t have anything to worry about as only North American account information has been compromised by hackers. According to Riot Games, usernames, email addresses, real names and “salted password hashes” were accessed during the breach. The password information that was accessed is said to be unreadable, although users with easy-to-guess passwords may be at risk.

    Those weren’t the only portions of North American accounts that were accessed as hashed and salted credit card numbers from somewhere around 120,000 transactions that were made in 2011 were also accessed. Riot Games assures players the payment system that was accessed hasn’t been used since July 2011, but the company is still taking the appropriate measures to notify and safeguard affected players. If you receive an email from Riot Games, it’s best to give it a read to see just how much your personal account was affected by this security breach.
