Riot Games Hacked: Delays Game Patches After Security Breach

Riot Games, the developer behind League Of Legends, recently suffered from a security breach, leading to the delays in game patches. The hack seems to have been conducted by hackers who were able to bypass Riot Games’ security measures, though provided limited details on the exact nature of the breach. Riot Games has since stated that no sensitive information was revealed in the hack, though is taking the security breach seriously by delaying the release of patches for the game, to better protect its customers. The hack has highlighted the importance of having strong security measures in place to protect against data breaches and hackers. To prevent these types of attacks from occurring in the future, Riot Games has implemented improved online security measures, including encrypting user data, regularly updating security patches and increasing the presence of anti-malware programs. Although the data breach occurred, Riot Games has done well to respond quickly, ultimately prolonging the patching process to ensure that customers are kept secure in the long run. Businesses can take this example as a reminder of the need for increased online security, and of the importance of taking action in the event of a data breach or attack.
