Riot Games has been asked to pay $10 million as a nsom for stolen source code following a cyber attack that allegedly took place on Jan. 17, according to Motherboard. The nsom mail was sent to the company’s directors and it threatened to release stolen files as well as share the extent of the breach in Riot’s system.
In the alleged mail obtained by the media outlet, hackers requested the company pay $10 million or they’d publicly share the valuable data obtained during the attack. Riot has, however, since made it clear it has no intention of meeting the attackers’ request in a statement shared on the company’s official Twitter account on Jan. 24.
