[IMPORTANT] Security Warning - check your drives.

Post by Rouke »

Recently the Legends website & forums have been under attack and where hacked.

First aid was applied and security will tighten even more asap.
No severe damage was done as far as we can tell but there is a chance your computer was infected anyways.

What to do:
  • You should bring your virus scanner up to date and do a full scan.
    Change passwords to your important websites like online banking etc. [preferably change it from another pc/utillity]
    Bring your browsers up to date (adobe flash - adobe acrobat - java)
We believe the attacks on Legends-league.com where unsuccessful and the above is just a precaution to rule out any oddities.
If you have not logged in to the website since the 24th November of 2012 there's no need to even check although it never hurts to be up to date, these hacks are increasingly common so you can pick up their aftermath anywhere on the Internet.

The exploit that was traced is called Blackhole Exploit Kit ( type 1984) for those whom want to know.

And for those wondering, yes, using our website and forums are safe to do so, we will be making sure security is tightened even more in the near future.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
