Easy Anti Cheat has been breached. Are we at risk?

[bleh!]

Some hackers were able to do remote code execution in Apex, thanks to EAC. Is there anything we can do to avoid getting hacked?

EasyAntiCheat is always getting breached lol

[Lord Wulfgar]

it is currently unknown if it is EAC or Apex itself we will have to wait for more info i guess

[Raft]

I was going to play DBD today.
Decided to wait till I receive more news on this.

[Blue]

I hope we can get clarification soon

[Lord Wulfgar]

I would not recommend playing the game until this is resolved or more info comes out.

[Voidlines]

Yep, avoid playing until this is fixed.

My opinion of Easy Anticheat continues to become lowered even more.

[Lord Wulfgar]

We don't even know if it is EAC or a Security vulnerability with Apex Legends itself.

[Lord Wulfgar]

ill lets you guys know if i find anything else out.

[Squidvasion]

I don't think we'll get much more info until Respawn or EA make a statement. real lame if its easy anti-cheats end

It uses EA anticheat, which makes it a security risk.

Chances are they both suffer from the same exploit.

I assume we will get more concrete answers later today, either from Respawn/EA or EAC themselves. I don't think the hacker at the Apex tournament has any intention to use the exploit for malicious purposes against normal players, but now the cat is out of the bag. Other hackers can possibly utilize this now for far worse things than remote activating aimbot on other players.

Hopefully even though it seems the exploit was done through a hole in EAC, it turns out to be a problem unique to Apex Legends or those tournament matches specifically and not every game that uses EAC. We'll probably find out in the next few hours here as twitter wakes up.

You might be not gettimg the matter right. It isn't simple EAC bypass that lets cheater cheat. It's an security vulnerability that lets hackers get access to your computer.
