Seems there are mentions of Easy Anti-Cheat having a vulnerability, but I'm not sure how trustworthy that is. It's a widely used anti-cheat, if it has a vulnerability, it would be big news, bigger than the "Apex Legends final being postponed" story.
But who would blow such a 0day on ruining a competition, instead of doing something profitable and sneaky? Gotta admire that, seems it was just for "fun".
- jsheard 3y agoFWIW EasyAntiCheat are saying they're not to blame, and the finger pointing at them was only speculation in the first place. https://twitter.com/TeddyEAC/status/1769725032047972566 https://twitter.com/TeddyEAC/status/1769725032047972566 Unless something similar happens in another game with EAC I would assume it's exploit(s) in the game itself - the remote attack surface of the game is orders of magnitude larger than the anti-cheat after all. > Yeah, or a RCE that allowed them to directly hit each individual client, rather than coming from the server? Maybe, but Apex has dedicated servers so there isn't a great deal of client-to-client communication to potentially exploit.

The article points out: > In the Genburten clip, the streamer’s chat can be seen to read “Apex hacking global series by Destroyer2009 & R4ndom.” So maybe some other folks had their own CTF competition concurrently. Pretty cyberpunk. Who knows what the prize was.
