The online world has often been quite vulnerable to infringements. People have lost their accounts, lost money, and even personal data due to cyber attacks they faced. These get scarier when a huge corporation gets attacked. Riot Games is one of the leaders in the gaming circle that recently fell prey to a similar attack.

The company has some great titles like League of Legends and Valorant to their name and only recently terminated a deal with FTX. Recent reports suggest that Riot Games has fallen prey to an attack. This was confirmed by the company itself through its Twitter handle.

Riot Games suffers a social engineering attack

Riot is one of the most popular developers in the gaming sphere right now. Especially as their two competitive games, League of Legends and Valorant are widely acclaimed. Now, Riot Games has issued a statement stating that they were a victim of a social engineering attack.

Riot Games was hesitant to give out detailed reports about the attack they faced. But, the company wanted to put the word out to its consumers. Moreover, the community can be relieved as Riot has assured that there was no indication of personal data or information being obtained or leaked.

The affected side of the attack was the developer’s content release ability. That is, due to the engineering attack Riot Games was not able to release content for the community. They are expecting to make a quick fix with the upcoming patches across their several games.

They also have assured the community that they will be transparent with the situation and will let the public know if there is any further development in this regard.

Fans were appreciating Riot for its transparency

After Riot Games released a statement to the public about the social engineering attack, the community was seemingly in support of the developers.

This largely was due to the fact that Riot was transparent about the issue. They made sure that the community was made aware of this infringement.

Of course, there was criticism of the issue as well. Some were seen taking a dig at the Riot staff for not being on guard against this attack.

Furthermore, many were also seen making a joke out of this entire situation. Some were reading between the lines of the statement to say that the attack happened earlier this week and Riot has now finally issued a statement.

More details about this attack are still under dark clouds. We sure can hope that Riot Games will continue to give more updates regarding this in the upcoming days.
