"Apex Legends Tournament Halted Amid RCE Hack Concerns"

Electronic Arts postponed the NA finals of the Apex Legends Global Series after hackers compromised players mid-match, displaying cheat tools and giving unfair advantages. The hacks were believed to have been conducted using a remote code execution vulnerability, prompting speculation about flaws in the game client, Easy Anti-Cheat, or the players' devices. Easy Anti-Cheat has stated that they are confident their software has no RCE flaw, but the developers have not yet confirmed anything. This unprecedented occurrence has caused the suspension of the tournament and raised concerns among Apex Legends players about the security of the game.
