"Apex Legends Tournament Hacker Claims Hacking Was Just a Joke"

The individual responsible for hacking an Apex Legends global tournament claims it was done "just for fun" and to prompt developer Respawn to patch the exploit. The hack affected two players during the North American finals, causing the tournament to be postponed. The hacker insists they did not access the players' computers and that the exploit was not related to the game's server. Despite refusing to disclose the details of the exploit, the hacker believes Respawn can patch it without external reports. Respawn has issued updates to protect the Apex Legends community.
