"Apex Legends Tournament Disrupted by Massive Hack, Raises Security Concerns"

Easy Anti-Cheat has denied responsibility for the recent hacking incident during the Apex Legends Global Series, stating that there is no RCE vulnerability in its software. The hacks, which allowed players to see through walls and use aimbots, led to the postponement of the North American finals. The Anti-Cheat Police Department suggested that an RCE was being abused to inject cheats into streamers' machines, potentially leading to serious security risks. The source of the vulnerability, whether in Easy Anti-Cheat or Apex Legends itself, remains unclear, and Respawn has yet to comment on the issue. The incident raises concerns about the security of playing Apex Legends and the potential impact on other games that use Easy Anti-Cheat.
