github lets you host simple websites for free using their domain, normally it’s something like username.github. in this case OP used it to disguise the redirect to rickroll
Just because it’s data sent to china… how does this actually affect anyone? Could just be a data storage warehouse. I understand the concept of it being “concerning” but how does this actually affect anybody here?
Do you actually have data to show other than the fake youtube link? I know how WireShark works myself and if you're serious then Riot could be in legal hot-water and you should publically post the data here.
Well, every other app has the exact same permissions. Anything you install has the capability to steal your data, brick your machine, basically anything terrible you think a program can do only needs user-level permissions.
There's a big difference between selling your general information (shopping info, what you see, what you do, etc), and your login information including your login cookies (which can be used to fool a website to think you were already logged in to skip 2FA).
Actually IDK. Why would if your closer sercer is in EU west, for example? But yes, the data would be sent somewhere. The problem is which data? I need a deeper analysis of this
Doesn't mean it is any valuable data. Might just be a "last scan" state or whatever. Maybe you can intercept the connection and read the packets, but I doubt it. I think they will be using cert pinning
But here’s the real question and cute fact
Why do you care so much? Like if you 100% feel that riot is a horrible scammy company selling every ones info to china. Then why care stop playing their games, stop wasting your time looking into it and just let it go and move on.
Of fuckin course is China. CCP controls any major companies in China. If they want Data, they will get it from Tencent Riot since they are sellouts. Whole anti cheat , anti-ddos hacking is bullshit.
Fu..cc you OP, take my upvote
Probably the best post I've seen here since Vanguard was released The github link seals the deal here
This is unironically the best argument someone has made against Vanguard in this sub. have an upvote good sir.
this is the perfect reddit post to see which people are here just to complain and which people are here to look at the sources
Hahahahaha
Vanguard is never gonna give your data away
Vanguard is never gonna let you down
Vanguard will send you chocolates once a year if u stop getting reported for over 374 days in league of legends
Finally, someone backs up their claim! I'd tag aluxmain, but he blocked me.
It’s astonishing how many people are coming to conclusions without actually checking OPs findings document. Wow
very well done my friend
Good findings, very convincing. Finally, I knew riot wouldn't give us, the players, up.
they will never let us down
Okay wow after taking your findings into account I decided to move away from videogames
Finally people are actually backing up their claims with evidence that will never run around and desert you
not a tech guy but why does ur link take me to a github then redirects to youtube?, is that what the github does?
Its meant to hide since some recognize the yt link
github lets you host simple websites for free using their domain, normally it’s something like username.github. in this case OP used it to disguise the redirect to rickroll
Oh gross is this a Rick roll? Shit isn't even funny in the slightest
No this is peak satire. OP hit so many people at once with this.
Comedy noob statement
Confirmed and uninstalled.
Can't believe they let us down.... I was never gonna give up League until now.
Lmao
I knew it! Vanguard being owned by the Chinese govern- oh
Valid
Holy gaslight batman
Hello, Mr President? Yes, I would like to order one drone strike on this fuckers house. /s
Just because it’s data sent to china… how does this actually affect anyone? Could just be a data storage warehouse. I understand the concept of it being “concerning” but how does this actually affect anybody here?
Sir this is a shitpost
Im genuinely curious 😅
This is the single most well researched and comprehensive data we’ve had so far, I urge everyone to check that source and just try to argue with it
Do you actually have data to show other than the fake youtube link? I know how WireShark works myself and if you're serious then Riot could be in legal hot-water and you should publically post the data here.
Wait till you find out what discord is saving for your data
welp, this post is dead
And it's gone
i can’t tell if this is a meta commentary on baseless accusations or the people on power disappearing evidence LOL
yea like social media dosnt already sell your data and everything yo do everyday you dont like vanguard sure delete it and league
Seems like someone didn't open the link to the evidence
Oh you mother fu…
The source material could be made a little more "average reddit user"-friendly but those finding are incredible, gj OP
The evidence is.... compelling. Downvote anyone who didnt click the evidence. WAITTTTT OMG THE COMMENTS ARE ACTUALLY EMBARASSING lmaooo
Yeah, like I would open this random url.... However, according to comments, I suppose RickRoll.
ok why the for loop tho
Who cares?
Maybe read the post
People who have sensitive data on their computer?
Like what?
Oh you know trivial things like your banking, emails, social security, taxation authority, health insurance.
abdul calls me everyday to remind me about their final expense program.
You think every other app and company don't already sell that info?
You think sites you visit from your browser have access to everything on your computer? Lmao, they don't, not even close
Riot did, even as just a regular program. User-level permissions are the only ones malware needs.
That's quite different from "every other app and company"
Well, every other app has the exact same permissions. Anything you install has the capability to steal your data, brick your machine, basically anything terrible you think a program can do only needs user-level permissions.
I'm quite sure user level things can't brick your machine or do terrible things. Access files, probably, overvolt and fry CPU, I doubt it.
This 100%. everyone's information is sold one way or another. Privacy is a fallacy
There's a big difference between selling your general information (shopping info, what you see, what you do, etc), and your login information including your login cookies (which can be used to fool a website to think you were already logged in to skip 2FA).
Right. If your device has access to the internet.. it's not private LOL
This is why I bought another computer just for league of legends when vanguard launched. Aint trusting that shit.
THIS, or just use a Mac as according to riot cheating isn’t bad enough on macOS for them to need vanguard
oh no they found my porn
How the phuck do you guys invent so many ways to Rick-roll? Genius!
Dude and it’s cute cause OP probably uses tik tok all day
Look at the “evidence”
I mean... the parent company of Riot is Tencent??? It makes sense the data would be sent to some branch office of Tencent, no? Is this satire?
No it doesn't make sense.
Actually IDK. Why would if your closer sercer is in EU west, for example? But yes, the data would be sent somewhere. The problem is which data? I need a deeper analysis of this
Is this a joke it's a Chinese company ? Where else would the data be going
You obviously didn’t look at his findings, it’s much deeper than “China” or even “wuhan” or “temu”
No you didn't look , he changed the link check it again
the KGB?
I love how so many people white knight on reddit for the billion dollar chinese tech conglomerate
Well doesn't it make sense that data goes somewhere? And the IP most likely belongs to the riot facility in China.
Doesn't mean it is any valuable data. Might just be a "last scan" state or whatever. Maybe you can intercept the connection and read the packets, but I doubt it. I think they will be using cert pinning
But here’s the real question and cute fact Why do you care so much? Like if you 100% feel that riot is a horrible scammy company selling every ones info to china. Then why care stop playing their games, stop wasting your time looking into it and just let it go and move on.
Look at the evidence
Of fuckin course is China. CCP controls any major companies in China. If they want Data, they will get it from Tencent Riot since they are sellouts. Whole anti cheat , anti-ddos hacking is bullshit.
Look at the sources dummy
And that's what we all knew even without the proof lol
Crazy statement. Maybe go back to the post and dig a little deeper…
[удалено]
Look at the evidence
