Respawn Entertainment has implemented updates to secure Apex Legends following a hacking incident during the ALGS North American finals.

A hacker named Destroyer2009 provided cheats to two competitors, forcing the postponement of the event.

Destroyer2009 claims the hack was a demonstration to prompt developers to fix an exploit, not an attack on the servers.

Apex Legends developers acknowledged the breach and have put safeguards in place to prevent future incidents.

Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) has initiated an investigation, dismissing rumors of an RCE vulnerability in their software.

The competitive integrity of Apex Legends has been questioned after players had access to cheats like wallhacks and aimbots.

The Anti-Cheat Police Department had initially suspected an RCE exploit but later identified malware and Trojans as the cause.

Players are advised to use reliable security software and enable Brute Force Protection to defend against similar attacks.

The gaming community is calling for increased transparency from Respawn Entertainment regarding the incident and its future prevention strategies.
