The European databases for League of Legends has been compromised, making it the latest game to be targeted in a string of security breaches targeting online games and services.
In an open letter on the game's forum, Riot Games announced that hackers had gained access to e-mail, encrypted passwords, character names, birthdates, and security questions in a limited number of cases.

The developer has advised players to change their passwords, and advised that e-mail adresses obtained in data thefts are frequently targeted in phishing attacks.
No credit card or payment information was obtained.
The ongoing threat to digital security is a severe liability to online game developers.
