Hi guys.
Yesterday or two days ago, I had my email and LoL account stolen.
I think it might be someone from MOBAFire, but I'm not sure.

I have recovered both account, I just wanted to warn people. I'm not sure it's from this webpage. Just so people out there know that, there MIGHT be a threat.

Odd that this happened so quickly after DEWO.

I'll be extra careful on here. :(


I make sigs, PM me if you want one :D (Thanks for the Nidalee sig, The_Nameless_Bard!)

Well, I dunno, except my email?

I just wonder why it was only LoL and my email. My steam account and other logins haven't been touched at all. And the player had played a game or two on my LoL account.

Remember that people can make their e-mail appear as from anyone they want, only way to really check who it is from is either hover-over the e-mail before you open (in Hotmail at least), or hit "Reply" and see who the e-mail replies to.

It happens just as easy for WoW gamers because an impostor manages to steal their account in a very similar way.

1) If they ask for your password, delete the e-mail. Riot (or anyone else for that matter) will EVER ask for your password. They can check it themselves!

2) If it links you to a website be cautious about going to it, even if it's a fancy e-mail with a background image and everything. Website can either infect you with keyloggers and nasties alike, or they make you "sign in" with your account, just to steal your account information.

I have never done any of those things, since I knew it could be some ****.

I just feel like getting a rape whistle and scream: Stranger danger! STRANGER DANGER!
