Apex Legends postpones competition amid hacking concerns

Recommended Posts

This is kind of crazy, but I guess there is an exploit in Apex Legends that recently has resulted in two pro players being hacked during a gaming tournament. The pro players who were targeted, received wall hacks and aim assist hacks mid-match. Most would think that the players were using these hacks intentionally and accidentally made it known, but video proof of the incident shows the hacker group posting a message announcing the hack in game. 

Supposedly the hackers found an exploit somewhere, some say the anti cheat system used in the game, and were able to remotely take access of these players computers installing and using said hacker tools. No joke, it's alleged that it's the way the anti-cheat works. 

You can watch a video of one of the targeted players: 

It got so bad, that Apex Legends has postponed the North America finals for its Global Series championship. Not a good look for EA right now.

I had no clue this happened but that is shocking! Of all the places for it to happen, it was two people taking part in a tournament. 

I lost interest in Apex Legends back last year and many who I speak to have said about how they don't enjoy the game as much as they used to and that Respawn doesn't seem to be bringing in too many new ideas to keep the game fresh.

It's really crazy that it actually happened during a tournament of all places. Normally, I would think that it's the last place you would get hacked.
