It’s certainly alarming and I hope they make a statement for it. The idea that any EAC game could have remote code exploit means anyone playing these games could be under risk of getting hacked.
This involved a wild situation where someone was giving the pros hacks like aimbots and wallhacks as they were playing in the Finals event, effectively ruining the entire thing without anyone actually attempting to cheat.
This is a contributor post, not a Forbes official article.
I read here recently that the rich people who pay attention to Forbes for investment information avoid all Forbes contributor content and focus only official article from Forbes staff.
I don’t know how true that is, but if you believe it then until a forbes staffer writes about it in an official capacity, it hasn’t actually hit Forbes.

I understand you, but they’re not the ones who matter here tbh; it’s other laymen. I don’t use Forbes, I just know what Forbes is. Looking at that page, I’d have no idea what you’re talking about. The url is Forbes, the author’s name is there, and is labelled as a senior contributor. For most of us: “we hit Forbes boys!”

Looking at Titanfall and Titanfall 2, Respawn has a pretty fuckin terrible track record with multiplayer security.
Wonder if this is a risk for all games that run EAC.
EAC said no via https://twitter.com/alphaINTEL/status/1769734106395373635

no lol
Is there any specific evidence to support EAC being the issue?
Other than it being anti-cheat software failing to do the one thing it was made to do?
✨ No ✨
It’s certainly alarming and I hope they make a statement for it. The idea that any EAC game could have remote code exploit means anyone playing these games could be under risk of getting hacked.
The clips are pretty crazy:

That is crazy, are there more clips or compilations? I’m just finding out about it through this post
Damn.
Goddamn, it really did hit Forbes. Now I’m really interested in how Respawn will handle this one.

I feel like the hackers got what they wanted out of it.
They definitely did. This will easily be the top Apex news for at least a week.
