It's one thing for a player to bring a thumb drive and try to cheat a win for themselves. It's entirely another for some remote person to inject it into any device on the network completely without being detected.
Ive only watched this video on the matter and unless its misrepresented nothing is injected. Imagine it more like a mod tool or server side setting that already exist in the client. The hacker is telling server "hey this guy is a mod now and should be allowed these sv_cheats". Probably found some fun and easy way to do this
The craziest part is that after it happened once we were told we had to play more games. I was genuinely scared to keep playing and they were just hoping it would randomly stop.

I stopped playing apex when I literally couldnt play a diamond lobby without coming across at least 1 hacker a game. Never looked back and its been 2 years
I quit apex about 2 years ago as well, for a multitude of reasons but cheating was definitely one. Now I play Overwatch and while the game has its own problems, I'm glad I made the switch.
Happened to me in dying light 1, i was playing online and a chinese guy joined my game and dropped me a weapon that was a stick written u r cute on it, when i exit the game an hour or so later all my files were called u r cute every shortcut on my computer, my facebook was hacked my email was hacked my steam that guy fucked up my whole computer i stopped playing pc and bought a series x because of that its too scary
This is scarier than people realise.. If the new cheater meta becomes turning on hacks for other people on your team so they get banned instead of you but you still win, then we're all fucked..
You say this as if this was something every hacker is capable of doing in every game. This only happened because Respawn and EA are a bunch of lazy fuckers and didn't bother fixing their fucking game.
Yeah never thought of ppl deciding to do this. Cheaters are complete losers in real life so the more people they piss off online the better for them. Whole gaming industry gonna be in shambles
Pretty much what he did. Also if you're streaming, you probably look straight down before you leave to avoid anyone else gathering information in the game (in this setting)
We saw the mini version of this with GTA Online. Hackers would spawn millions of dollars on players heads and the random spike of income would flag their accounts and led to lots of bans. This being a direct injection is terrifying
the only scary thing is the incompetence of the manufacturer. Anyone can screw up and get hacked, but it seems like their normal business model to just get hacked on a regular basis and put out more lootboxes while doing nothing to prevent future hacks. No way I'm touching a game where shit like this happens in the NA championship lmao
happened to me. I was told by support it was my fault because I let it happen lmao. The worse part about the GTA ban is that the game code, rockstar account, and steam account where all tied together, so if I wanted to play again, I'd have to buy the game again and create a new steam and rockstar account. Fuck that

Anyone in the hacking community or most online communities in general knows what these things are. Don’t tell me a “key logger” sounds any less familiar in your ears than a denial of service attack. The real question is: how many people know about this exploit that have malicious intentions?
Destroyer2009 is genuinely the greatest username to be broadcasted for an incident like this. Imagine the shame of a dude named that hacking your professional esports event. Just phenomenal.
I still remember when a hacker injected my game with their hacks when I was like 11 playing Black Ops 2, and the hacks that he gave everyone had an option to forcefully inject others with the hacks as well. He forced everyone in the lobby to be max prestige, unlock everything, and gave everyone a cheat menu. I was shittin bricks worried I was gonna get banned cause I had no clue how to get rid of all the stuff. Hacking like that is not good, I can understand having like a custom server where they are just goofing around, but going into public lobbies and ruining everyones progression and possibly getting them banned is not cool.
I too am surprised with hacks these days, just like how I played battlefront 2 2017 recently and the hacks at the game were to change everyones perspective to the same cinematic scene or to make the server lag or to launch a weird console on your game screen that shows some kind of code
It was very lucky that the hacker who did it just went nuts with it, if he was more malicious he could have easily framed a pro for cheating and ruined his whole career
As someone who has worked on the LAN events in the UK, the higher ups decided on the online, we suggested the offline method but EA wanted to do things their own way.
amateur hour behavior, which i suppose is normal behavior from an EA executive as they know essentially nothing about video games or technology aside from the fact that it brings in money
@@andrewkoster6506 When someone suggested that they do it LAN the dunces in suits mustve been like "durr, but then nobody will be able to watch it! it MUST be 'online'!" hilariously inept.
If this incident is because of an RCE exploit, then the game servers need to be taken down while this gets resolved. It would be utterly irresponsible to expose all of their players to such a major security risk. But then again, it is EA.
@@misterragnar2521there's no conclusive evidence yet, but most people speculate that it's because of a source engine vulnerability that valve ignored from all the way in 2019 to when they finally patched it in 2021 for CS:GO
@@misterragnar2521EAC put out a statement about 2 hours ago stating they do not believe they have any RCE exploits of their systems and are working with partners. Additionally, with the fact the Source engine has had an RCE vulnerability before, it makes it more likely this is a vulnerability with Apex's engine/server infrastructure.
Bro I genuinely don't know what that dude was thinking like no I can't fucking play MY FUCKING GAME IS BEING HACKED even if it wasn't cheats for the game I can't keep fucking playing with an active issue going on with the machine that could compromise the event's security
He knew Gen was getting hacked from the chats but he didn't know to what extent or what was actually going on until gen said "it's cheating, I can see everyone." Playing as a duo really hurt them and they ended up getting second in that game as a result, so he wanted to see if he could still play
Not just that, but trying to find a way to obscure his player character from any sightlines so the cheats wouldn't dome someone while he was trying to quit out.
I'm not sure it was the right move and I think the next person showed why. When the first guy had cheats turned on and quit quickly, they just kept playing the match and wanted to keep going. The second person didn't quit quickly and kept playing. That forced them to end the match and postpone things. If the second guy had just quit immediately they might not have stopped things and it's possible the results of the matches would stand. At the point the first guy was hacked the competitive integrity of the match was gone.
@@ZeroRed78 imperial Hal was hacked as well that’s the second person of the same team. I just find it funny how a 15 year old hacked EA during a big tournament
If I'm not mistaken the use of web hooks is really a form of man in the middle attack designed to give the server information that would otherwise be real information or commands
Gen also had aimbot before the walls got turned on, he thought he killed a member of DSG, who were playing under Dark Zero's spot. His arrow actually hit Zaptoh of E8 who was across the map. If you watch the beginning of the clip you can see his arrows fly up instead of towards the person he was aimed at. This entire situation was wild to watch in real time
We were just taught about this so yeah if you don't have a proper layered security model for your organizations its not gonna be so hard to bypass hack and change data and there is a lot of risks throughout the internet you just have to keep reminding people to be aware

Fun fact: TSM Mande talked to Destroyer 2009 a few months ago and he said that he was 18. Also Destroyer 2009 has been a known hacker/cheater for a while also
Are there legal consequences for doing stuff like this since it's tournament play? I mean this would be the equivalent of i.d. fraud to get someone fired from their job... sorry if this is a dumb question I know nothing about game leagues.
It was zero asking gen if he could play. On zero's screen he could see the chat being spammed by the hacker. He didn't know gen had been given wall hacks.
Reminds me of when Halo 2 was king, it was damn near impossible to get past level 38-40 without squadding with a hacker. Hackers were so common in the top 10 ranks that you were practically guaranteed to get matched against one, and so your best chance was to have a hacker on your team to cheat harder than they're cheating. It was so goofy. Back in the good ol' days where kids were sticking butter knives in the back of their xboxs in order to block the laser from reading the disc and reading from their modded files instead.
Those modded custom lobbies were fun as hell. A nice break from competitive Halo just flying around with energy swords having Dragon Ball Z fights in the air lol
Heard that man, I could only get to like level 39 before it was constant blue screens and dudes flying in the middle of the map with a br shooting sniper bullets. I linked up with someone who would lag switch/blue screen the lobbies and I’d sell those level 50 accounts. Good times
When the Xbox 360 came out, my buddy got one and we both learned how to mod Halo 2. I was on the OG Xbox, and he was on 360 We found all of those custom game maps like the race tracks on the outside of the map, or the Donkey Kong type game where you climb the slope and there's all sort of objects tumbling down The good ol' days for real
Or when MW2 was king, and near every lobbywas hacked. Jumps that sent you to the moon, so if you didn't have the no fall damage perk you just insta died. Gave everyone speed hacks, could only use knife, etc. Shit was mad wild. Craziest thing is in today's world, games shouldn't be as easy to hack as they are.
Some more info about this situation that Charlie hadn’t added is that Destroyer 2009 was a well known hacker before this incident happened, he would load into popular steamers ranked games with them being in masters and even predator and would make a ton of bots to just target the streamer until they died. (If you want to see some clips of it there are some videos of Hiswattson getting into one of these matches and it’s absolutely bonkers you just have to see it.)
Not only that, he(and I believe others as well) can crash their servers at will. Over the past year I can recall at least two incidences of him crashing servers just for shits and giggles. Once was in a ranked game Hal was in, and another ranked game with a different streamer, can’t recall who it was off the top of my head. But yeah long story short, he(and again, maybe others as well) basically has complete control over the game and can do whatever he wants whenever he wants.
This game's hacking situation is insane. EA and Respawn are lucky their playerbase is so forgiving. They are so worried about selling recolors and skins they ignore real issues.
Funny how they force Kernel-level anti-cheat onto people (which just came back to bite them in the ass in this case) yet it is absolutely useless in most cases. Pirate Software explained really well how such a thing is NOT a "necessary evil", it is just plain unecessary... But hey, we need to get comfortable with not owning anything and with corporations having complete access to all our devices... What a world we live in huh
@@HER0_cause the game is fun, especially this new season they actually cooked with it, the problem is the game is in a horrible state in every other aspect, gameplay is fine too, the whole movement bs got fixed too so people arent flying around anymore
@@HER0_ Its the best BR out. Probably the best high ttk shooter in general due to its movement and gunplay. Nothing really comes close. Even though I have complaints about the ranking system, its also the best out there for BRs. Only thing people really complain about is servers and hackers and monetization. Idgaf about skins so idc about those complaints. Hackers are really only in Diamond+ so most peolpe shouldn't be complaining about it. Its just a classic case of "that guys better than me, msut be cheating". And servers are 20tick which probably cant go higher due to the physics of the game and it being a BR. And the reality is, the servers are fine, its not a tactical shooter. The bad clips you see are just people playing on 300 ping or some bullshit.
What's fucked is I just got off the great and very detailed Goat video about EFT and he's response one year later. Banned cheaters could be a source of income if cheaters must purchase new accounts. This feels like a dark rabbit hole.
it humbles me in a sense seeing someone like charlie fumbling his words. as one who does this constantly and can't stop myself, it gives me a confidence boost.
Imagine saying "someone put hacks on my computer" since that's what many cheaters say after they get caught so no one will believe someone if that actually happens to you
apparently the hacker spammed something in the chat declaring who they had hacked, so the player who got hacked is actually blameless unless you think that they were colluding (which doesn't make sense given the players' reactions, if they were trying to use the hacks to win they would stay quiet about them or at least keep playing the game)
@@BlackShinobi. Of course they said that, wouldn't want to show just how useless kernel-level access anti-cheat is worthless when it's what you sell.... BTW, it is NOT a "necessary evil", just plain unnecessary.
@@GravitasZero It is crazy that people like you can type with such confidence when you clearly have no idea how these things work. 1) It legitimately has nothing to do with the AC. They're having security issues with their servers, kernel-level AC prevents people injecting cheats locally (through hardware/software), it isn't made to prevent people messing with the server itself. 2) It is 100% a necessary evil. Literally 100% of games with good anti-cheat have kernel-level AC because otherwise it is incredibly easy to make cheats that are 100% impossible to catch. 3) The doom and gloom around kernel-level ACs is crazy and shows the vast majority of people have no clue how computers work, but are still so eager to speak on the topic. If any of you are talking like this about kernel-level ACs and you're not on Linux you're a moron.
This is the main reason I quit apex. The game has PLENTY of problems but the hacks are just out of control to the point where you don't know if you got killed by a hacker or just a normal sweat.
This is why I don't play competitive online games anymore, period. The bots, the cheats, everything has just gotten so out of hand, and it's abundantly clear that the people who are _supposed_ to be fixing it are too busy sitting atop their dragon hoards of loot box and battle pass cash to give a shit.
I started the game at launch. After a couple of weeks I was used to what happens, how things feel, and I was playing a team game solo because my teamies disconnected at start. I managed to survive until there were less than 10 teams remaining. I found myself a crevasse where I could hear and see from all directions but was in a place that I had no business camping in. I waited and waited and finally heard some people. I knew I was safe because it was off the beaten track and they would head to the buildings below me. Rather than that happen, I heard the steps come directly towards me, then the person jumped around the corner, shotgunned me with one shot in mid-air instantly. I knew it was suss so I went back to the stream to rewatch it over and over and it was absolutely wallhacks and maybe more. I uninstalled. I've been back 3 times since to play with friends, more often than not there is at least one hacker. It's depressing as its a great game.
They don't ban chaters, only perma ban your whole EA account for saying slightly barely bad words even when not directed at teammates or saying stfu when being absolutely harassed through voice chat.
This. No one talks in game chat anymore because everyone is scared they'll be reported over something minor and get banned. It's so pathetic. I'm even 100% okay with banning slurs, but banning basic trash talk has ripped the soul out of game chat.
The fact there is big prizes involved and they aren't playing locally on an air gapped server is mind blowing. Especially if they game is prone to getting hacked.
Be curious to know where the exploit was/what it was/is. Apparently the hack was a RCE one (remote code execution) which from what I understand means they could have done pretty much anything they wanted.
Every time someone starts the message with "as a {programmer/webdev/whatever software related}" what comes after is nonsense Maybe don't consider yourself an expert after just getting your first job
This reminds me of the Xbox 360 RGH, cheaters where able to give you “co host” witch was them sharing the menu with you with a click of a button, those cheaters where also able to turn off you’re tv, and console
Brings me back to the mw2 days. “Can you give me cfg???” I used to play ground war, get a full 18 person lobby then switch the map to rust and set it to free for all

Just to clarify, he isn't 15. He's a russian hacker lol. Been around for 1-2 years already in the Apex scene. He is VERY far from a child. He works with Autismgaming420. Another well known hacker/used to leak on the leak subreddit for apex. He claims that AG420 isn't him, but the prevailing theory is that it's the same guy. I think the most infamous one that people remember is Tufi but pretty sure he's an entirely different entity.
LG_Shiv flipping out and screaming at Tufi when shiv and his team killed him was one of the best moments in all of apex. I wish i could quote it but if i do this comment wont be shown. Lets just say you shouldnt watch it near children.

I think the sentence you’re looking for is “an event that I’ll no doubt be telling my grandchildren about in 50years”
We saw the mini version of this with GTA Online. Hackers would spawn millions of dollars on players heads and the random spike of income would flag their accounts and led to lots of bans. This being a direct injection is terrifying
the only scary thing is the incompetence of the manufacturer. Anyone can screw up and get hacked, but it seems like their normal business model to just get hacked on a regular basis and put out more lootboxes while doing nothing to prevent future hacks. No way I'm touching a game where shit like this happens in the NA championship lmao
They didnt ban me but they took most of my billions, its funny though since i bought loads of cars already and they didnt do shit with those
happened to me. I was told by support it was my fault because I let it happen lmao. The worse part about the GTA ban is that the game code, rockstar account, and steam account where all tied together, so if I wanted to play again, I'd have to buy the game again and create a new steam and rockstar account. Fuck that
I've had this happen before back in 2019 or so; all that money got funneled into nice cars and - once I got transferred to the XB1 - the newer business updates. T'was a good day, I'd say.

I still remember when a hacker injected my game with their hacks when I was like 11 playing Black Ops 2, and the hacks that he gave everyone had an option to forcefully inject others with the hacks as well. He forced everyone in the lobby to be max prestige, unlock everything, and gave everyone a cheat menu. I was shittin bricks worried I was gonna get banned cause I had no clue how to get rid of all the stuff. Hacking like that is not good, I can understand having like a custom server where they are just goofing around, but going into public lobbies and ruining everyones progression and possibly getting them banned is not cool.
I too am surprised with hacks these days, just like how I played battlefront 2 2017 recently and the hacks at the game were to change everyones perspective to the same cinematic scene or to make the server lag or to launch a weird console on your game screen that shows some kind of code
It was very lucky that the hacker who did it just went nuts with it, if he was more malicious he could have easily framed a pro for cheating and ruined his whole career
The hacker kinda made sure to not frame genburten (the first guy) by typing “hacked by destroyer” in the team chat.

The second person didn't quit quickly and kept playing. That forced them to end the match and postpone things. If the second guy had just quit immediately they might not have stopped things and it's possible the results of the matches would stand.

Reminds me of when Halo 2 was king, it was damn near impossible to get past level 38-40 without squadding with a hacker. Hackers were so common in the top 10 ranks that you were practically guaranteed to get matched against one, and so your best chance was to have a hacker on your team to cheat harder than they're cheating. It was so goofy.
Back in the good ol' days where kids were sticking butter knives in the back of their xboxs in order to block the laser from reading the disc and reading from their modded files instead.
Those modded custom lobbies were fun as hell. A nice break from competitive Halo just flying around with energy swords having Dragon Ball Z fights in the air lol
Heard that man, I could only get to like level 39 before it was constant blue screens and dudes flying in the middle of the map with a br shooting sniper bullets. I linked up with someone who would lag switch/blue screen the lobbies and I’d sell those level 50 accounts. Good times

I waited and waited and finally heard some people. I knew I was safe because it was off the beaten track and they would head to the buildings below me. Rather than that happen, I heard the steps come directly towards me, then the person jumped around the corner, shotgunned me with one shot in mid-air instantly.

@@k1lez i aint gon hold u bro, u still unironically play minecraft... you must have been about 2 years of age when modern warfare 2 was around, i dont think you have the facilities to call cfg modders skids... 😂 infact patch.ff required host to work, SPRX engine's where the best, but cfg is certainly not skidded- they can do alot if u know what ur doing- chances are you was a skid and are just deflecting
"I have aimbot!" is a wild call out 🤣
"I'm getting hacked"
"Yeah but can you still play?"
Such a good friend.
Bo3 Incident. :D - People killing your pc because you're in their lobby.
0:20 A story to tell your grandchildren
It's alright, i've been through that little hiccup before as well.
Just to clarify, he isn't 15. He's a russian hacker lol. Been around for 1-2 years already in the Apex scene. He is VERY far from a child. He works with Autismgaming420. Another well known hacker/used to leak on the leak subreddit for apex. He claims that AG420 isn't him, but the prevailing theory is that it's the same guy.
I think the most infamous one that people remember is Tufi but pretty sure he's an entirely different entity.
thanks for the heads up
he just exposed a lot cheaters lmao
LG_Shiv flipping out and screaming at Tufi when shiv and his team killed him was one of the best moments in all of apex.
I wish i could quote it but if i do this comment wont be shown. Lets just say you shouldnt watch it near children.
Tufi was a dickhead tho, destroyer might actually get respawn/ea to get off their ass.
Might as well just say his dad owns Microsoft. About as believable as your hairline
