I saw this in another discord. Using SATA/NVMe as a DMA? that is an interesting concept.

```new Riot Vanguard update targets hardware-level cheat devices (via SATA/NVMe) and breaks the machine's DMA firmware by using the IOMMU on the device's chipset to force READ BLOCKS on the SATA/NVMe channels, effectively BRICKING almost every SATA/NVMe device's firmware immediately. the ONLY recovery method is a full reformat of every storage drive and a complete OS reinstall ```

my guess is there is going to be some legal ramifications to riot if this is true.

If that's legit, riot is done.

Boy are they being read the riot act (pun intended). I have not played their games, but if what I am reading is for real, they do deserve to be sued into oblivion.

i actually read into this, if you cheat without IOMMU it breaks ur pc, basically they make IOMMU a requirement (whicb u have to know about and manually disable it) so they cant actually be sued

If they are bricking people's systems/drives, yes, they can.
