Riot has offered an update to last week’s cyber attack on its systems, confirming that while source code for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics is currently being held ransom, it remains “confident” no player data was compromised.
Riot first shared news of the attack – said to have targeted its development environment – last Friday, saying that while the incident would temporarily affect its ability to release content, there was “no indication that player data or personal information was obtained.”
The studio has now reiterated that point in an update on Twitter, saying it “remains confident” no player data was impacted. It also revealed further information on the attack, saying that – following the ‘exfiltration’ of source code for League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, and a “legacy anticheat platform” – the perpetrators have now contacted Riot in a ransom email. “Needless to say,” it added, “we won’t pay.”
