Hacker Breaks Into Heroes of Newerth, Targets League of Legends Next

A hacker claiming to be a software engineer from Belarus broke into online game Heroes of Newerth earlier this week, stealing passwords and account information from developer S2 Games’ database.

ā€œI hacked HoN because there’s nothing as hilarious as seeing a bunch of fanboys of a game get enraged over the fact that their favourite game has been hackedā€, they wrote in a Reddit thread boasting of their efforts.

ā€œI guess I’ll do League of Legends next as this was so funny.ā€

The odds of a single person being able to crack the security of one of the biggest online games in the world are remote, but hey, stranger things have happened.
