Fraud and computer hacking charges laid against a Kingaroy man were mentioned briefly in Maryborough Magistrates Court yesterday.

Shane Duffy has entered no plea to six fraud-related charges and three charges of computer hacking.

Police will allege the 21-year-old hacked into a server belonging to US-based online gaming developer Riot Games and the company’s Twitter account.

They claim he then posted information he obtained on the internet and offered a paid service to search the company’s database.

The charges were adjourned to April 22.
