LoL, Teamfight Tactics and anti cheat program codes stolen
The company has also stopped publishing content for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics as teams work to secure the system. These vulnerabilities are expected to be closed with a patch scheduled for release this week. It will receive the patch soon, which will make fixes to bring some of the changes players have been waiting for to Teamfight Tactics and League of Legends, but will have to wait for larger updates.
According to information from the company, no player data or personal information was captured in the attack. However, it was also reported that the stolen codes contain prototyping of the games that are not guaranteed to be released, and features that the company is not ready to share.
The scammers tricked one of the company’s employees into uploading a file via email. As a result, they reached and seized the folders and files containing all the codes. Riot Games has faced similar attacks in the past. The application of the company, which sued a gang that emerged in 2021, was rejected.
