Account banned then unbanned and hacked after

WannabeInsec NA··3 votes·1,963 views

The problem with this is I got banned for saying "%%%" which I do feel bad about. But I got banned accordingly (perma banned they said)

Then all of a sudden I get a notification for a password change.

Ofc they can't change my password because they don't have access to my email (How did my account info get stolen anyways)

But all of a sudden I realize my account must be unbanned then.

I got to log on and my password doesn't work. IT ISN'T EVEN UNDER MY EMAIL ANYMORE

The only way that could happen is if a riot employee helped the hacker get into my account.

Hope riot responds to the ticket but I think riot is the issue and cause.

Hmm, few things here

  1. Account checker. I think those are still a thing, lets you find the find first champ/refunded items (recovery things) and your date of birth you used for an account and Riot "recovers it to the owner" which is whoever is trying to crack it
  2. Account was transferred, and your email became unverified and then they stole your account
  3. If you got a notification for a password change, it might be another account you have. If not, then they need the code you recieved to change the password
  4. Your account being unbanned has nothing to do with this. Someone can still steal your account and login if it's banned (pretty sure)

Thank you for your reply.

1: That's most likely it. Never thought of that.

2: possibly also (although it was like a month ago)

3: The notification told me the username.

4: They have 2 games played since it got banned. So it's unbanned. I hope riot replies. I'm so depressed about this.

So Riot Unbanned your account and than you sold it and now you want Riot to give you the account back so you can pocket the money and sell it again?

Lol No. I didn't even know it was unbanned until I looked. Quit being toxic.

Selling accounts isn't worth it, especially since I still actively play

I often do wonder how people make up stories and probably believe it themselves.

Riot can confirm I never even hit the change password thing. The only way is what the first person said in here.

I think riot is the issue and cause.

Getting hacked really isn't Riot's problem, but typically a weak pw for your league account & email.

Or you have a key logger on your account.

They changed the email. It isn't under my email anymore. Riot also isn't replying to my ticket.

My password is strong, uses letters, numbers. Capital letters and symbols

Account Recovery doesn't require you to have email access to that account.

They can most likely track where the account got logged in and where the email and pw change requests came from.

Wait for the support ticket response. I know it sucks but all you can do is wait. People are busy, and it's also the weekend.

Thank you. I'm just a bit salty. I was alright with the ban (I shouldn't have been toxic)

I'll attempt to be patient, as hard as it is for me.
