According to Vice, the ransom email states, “We have received your valuable data, including valuable anti-cheat source code and the entire game code for League of Legends and its tools, as well as Pacman, your usermode anti-cheat. We understand the importance of these artifacts and the impact their release to the public will have on your flagship titles, Valorant and League of Legends. In light of this, we are making a small request for an exchange of $10,000,000.” The ransom email further reads, “We do not wish to damage your reputation or cause public disturbance. Our only motivation is financial gain. Failure to do so will result in the hack being made public and the extent of the breach becoming known to more individuals.”
As promised, we wanted to bring you up to date on the cyberattacks of the past week. Over the weekend, our analysis confirmed the source code for League, TFT, and a legacy anticheat platform were deprecated by attackers.
