Late last year Capcom was victim of a targeted ransomware cyber-attack. This will likely not be the last attack Riot will have to deal with but this just gives you an idea of some of those it has dealt with thus far. This would see the beginning of a number of cyber-attacks on the gaming company. To this day Riot has never confirmed when the attacks were carried out. The League community found out their personal information had been compromised following a statement from Marc “Tryndamere” Merril, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Riot Games via the LoL forum on June 9 2012. The first major League of Legends hack was carried out in 2012 by Lulzsec, a black hat hacking group responsible for several cyber-attacks on many online services, including those of government organisations.Ī black hat hacking group is one that breaches computer security for selfish and malicious reasons, unlike white hat hacking groups who are motivated by ethical ones, and often aim to counter black hat groups. Riot Games, the company behind popular online titles such as League of Legends and Valorant, has been hacked and DDoS’d several times over the years. Some of the biggest online gaming platforms have been victim to these attacks let’s check them out. It can involve worms or ransomware, for example, and can have much more devastating effects on privacy, security and delivery of service.
Hacking requires a certain level of skill and computer know-how. Some Denial of Service attacks include, UDP flooding, SYN flooding, DNS amplification, or Network Time Protocol (NTP). A DDoS hits a server, website or network, overrunning it with fake traffic, leaving the server unable to operate as normal causing latency issues or forcing it to shut down altogether.
There’s a difference between DDoSing and hacking.
