Regarding the Heartbleed security bug

Riot·4/19/2014, 12:55:41 AM·3 votes·24,554 views

There's been a lot of discussion surrounding the “Heartbleed” SSL security bug that impacted a lot of websites (this video does a good job of explaining the details). We dug into every League of Legends system and we're happy to report that no player information was exposed to this bug.

However, some players use their League of Legends login information on other websites and, because of how widespread the Heartbleed bug is, their accounts may still be vulnerable.

Just to be safe, we strongly encourage players to change their League of Legends passwords. Additionally, all League of Legends players should verify their email address for added security.

As always, we'll keep doing everything we can to protect your information and will keep you informed of any updates.

Most of the internet is affected by a massive security leak? Well, better nerf Irelia.

Rito, you make me feel all warm and soggy in my chest-cavity.

Also; I'm sorry I left you for Smite. I wasn't thinking clearly. Please take me back.

"We dug into every League of Legends system and we're happy to report that no player information was exposed to this bug." Heartbleed bug leaves no trace, if player information was exposed to the bug no-one could know except the person(s) exploiting the bug.
