Studio Riot Games published an open letter to fans informing them of a major cyberattack that took place last week. Hackers stole source games League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics and other studio projects, as well as an outdated version of anti-cheat.

Recall that a few days ago, Riot Games, the developer and publisher of video games, from under whose wing such titans of the industry as League of Legends and Valorant came out, declared , which will delay the release of game patches for a number of its products. The reason is that its internal development environment was compromised.

The first concern is that disclosing the source code could lead to an increase in cheating activity (Riot Games has already prepared fixes). The studio also fears that the illegally obtained source code contains some experimental features.

Riot Games added that they hope to release some modes and changes for players someday. However, most of the content is in the prototype stage and there is no guarantee that it will ever be released.

The hackers demand a ransom for the information they obtained as a result of the attack. Cyberzodas threaten to release data to the public if their demands are not met. Riot Games decided not to compromise and turned to law enforcement for help. The company warns that this action may result in more cheats in League of Legends games, Valorant and other projects.

Riot Games has announced that they will give more details about the cyberattack at a later date. They intend to reveal the consequences of the hack and how exactly the hackers were able to penetrate the company’s servers.
