Sodapoppin

Popular Twitch streamer Sodapoppin has been banned by Twitch, according to StreamerBans.

According to Dot Esports, the ban may have been due to a co-stream he did with streamer Roflgator, who has also been banned by Twitch, for a VRChat stream they did back on July 17th.

The report says that some fans think that the stream is what prompted the ban as multiple in-game characters wore revealing clothing, including lingerie.

Twitch, per usual, has not commented on the ban publicly.

Riot Games Victims of Cyberattack

Riot Games

Riot Games issued a statement on Wednesday saying that they  received a ransom email after hackers stole source code for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, with the attack also targeting its legacy anticheat platform, according to an official release.

“Needless to say, we won’t pay,” Riot said in the statement.  “While this attack disrupted our build environment and could cause issues in the future, most importantly we remain confident that no player data or player personal information was compromised.”

Riot Games continued by saying that it’s been working to assess the leak’s impact on anticheat as “any exposure of source code can increase the likelihood of new cheats emerging.” The company added that “experimental features” were also exposed, saying that “most of this content is in prototype and there’s no guarantee it will ever be released.”

Riot Games first announced the hack back on January 20th, saying it was a “social engineering attack.”
