  • There is currently no evidence of an RCE exploit in EAC, and EAC themselves as well as their owner, Epic, have both denied the existence of an RCE in their software.

    There’s a video from about a month ago in which ImperialHal and Genburten (on separate occasions) are in a match against the person named in the messages sent by the exploit on Genburten’s machine.

    It’s possible that they were in contact with the hacker after that point and that he tricked them into downloading something they shouldn’t have.

    Otherwise, it’s also possible that there is an exploit in Apex/Source that the hacker used. He may have been able to get their IP during the public match a month ago and then use it to target them during the competition.

    Beyond what was seen during the competition, the hacker was also able to gift thousands of Apex packs to several players (seemingly without paying for them) and was able to get 40+ “bot” players into a single match and to all target an individual player. He also claimed to be able to open crates on another player’s account. These other exploits seem to indicate that he has elevated access to both the server and to multiple APIs, but none of them indicate elevated access to user machines in general.




  • Airport security is by far the most identifiable change for me personally. We never used to take shoes or belts off at airport security, we never walked through backscatter x-ray machines, we could carry liquids onto the plane and you could see your family or friends off at the departure gate even if you didn’t have a boarding pass.


  • They’re called the same thing, but no one considers them to be similar.

    It’s like how we use “chips” to refer to both crisps and fries. You usually know which ones it’s going to be based on context, and if it’s not clear you can always ask.

    On menus and things, we typically would call it “traditional lemonade” to clarify that it’s not sprite.
