Something rather terrifying has disrupted the North American Finals of Apex Legends, and players are now starting to potentially worry about their own accounts

    Wonder if this is a risk for all games that run EAC.

      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.

      EAC said no via https://twitter.com/alphaINTEL/status/1769734106395373635

      We are confident that there is no RCE vulnerability within EAC being exploited.

          Do we believe them?

          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?
