It is reported that the League of Legends privilege system of the Internet cafe was attacked by malicious people and automatically "mined" when it was turned on

According to an internet cafe in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, after replacing the internet cafe management system at the end of 2017, the machines began to freeze abnormally. After investigation, it was found that the privilege system of "League of Legends" in the internet cafe system was maliciously attacked, and the privilege files were replaced with a mining program. When the user turned on the computer, the program automatically started mining, resulting in problems such as excessive GPU usage.

The "League of Legends" privilege system is a form of cooperation provided by the official "League of Legends" to Internet cafes. Internet cafes submit applications to the official game, and after approval, they can obtain privileges such as skin trials and hero trials.

After rumors of a "malicious attack" leaked, reporters contacted several Internet cafes in Beijing, Hebei and Shandong, and the people in charge all said they had not encountered similar situations.

One of the owners of a local Internet cafe in Beijing said that in most cases, the computers in the Internet cafe will not store any plug-ins downloaded by non-administrators, but plug-ins such as game privileges that directly cooperate with game manufacturers will often be activated. The malicious attacks may be due to the Internet cafe using an irregular management system. (End)
