League of Legends exploit opens back door to user accounts

Posted on February 2, 2015 by Dissent

Shaun Prescott reports:

A League of Legends exploit allowing browser access to the game’s store as a means to hacking other player accounts, is being addressed by Riot.

According to witness reports on Reddit, the exploit allows users to access the League of Legends store from a web browser rather than the game client. With access to a user’s Summoner ID and a session token, the perpetrator is able to make RP and IP transactions on that user’s behalf.
