"Apex Legends NA Finals Delayed Due to Suspected RCE Hack"

The North American Apex Legends finals were postponed due to hackers providing cheats to competitors during tournament games, an unprecedented attack on a major esports event. Clips circulating online showed players being given cheats like aimbots and wall hacks, leading to distress and disruption. The hack was identified as a remote code execution exploit targeting a vulnerability in either the networking code of Apex Legends or the third-party anti-cheat software it uses. The Anti-Cheat Police Department advised against playing any games protected by Easy Anti-Cheat until the issue is resolved, while the makers of Easy Anti-Cheat denied any vulnerability within their software.
