League of Legends Hack Deletes User’s Hard Drives
Users of the premium version of League of Legends hack Bot of Legends were in for a surprise when they opened the latest version earlier this week. The hack completely formatted the user’s hard drives, leading to frustration among the cheaters who were using it.
The creators of Bot of Legends blamed a rival hacker for injecting malicious code into their software. However, some users are skeptical. They believe that the software intentionally formats the hard drive of anyone using a cracked version of the premium software. There are claims that a simple typo in the code caused the reformatting. Users have even uploaded the offending code they believe is responsible. The creators of Bot of Legends deny this on their official forums.
Website Goes Down and User’s Information Exposed
Shortly after the formatting issue came to light, the Bot of Legends website went down for unknown reasons. This left affected users with no platform for discussion or finding answers. Once the site was back up, users discovered that the malicious code also sent in-game names and regions to an external website, putting them at risk of bans.
Riot’s efforts to combat in-game hacking have proven ineffective. Incidents like this may serve as a stronger deterrent to cheaters than any measures the game’s developer can implement. One user expressed their frustration, stating, “This is pathetic! My entire uni work got deleted because of some mistake? You guys are supposed to deliver a service, and one of the most used scripts gets ‘compromised.’ What a joke! There should be measures in place to prevent this and protect consumers. I am furious!”
A History of Issues with Bot of Legends
This isn’t the first problem with Bot of Legends. In November, a security leak exposed the in-game names, regions, and IP addresses of 130,000 users who used the software between 2012 and 2014. Despite this, the site owner, known as “spudgy,” reassured users that the service will continue as usual.
