Hacker snatches North American League of Legends player credit card numbers and more

One of the most-played games in the world recently suffered a security breach.

Developer Riot Games released a blog post yesterday that revealed hackers accessed sensitive information relating to its competitive multiplayer title League of Legends. Someone was able to access usernames, email addresses, passwords, and real names. The passwords are salted and hashed, which means they are unreadable, but Riot warns that the users with simple passwords are more vulnerable to account theft.
