The hack may have been spread through Apex's anti-cheat software.

    A kernel-level anti-cheat being used as an attack vector? Who could possibly have seen this coming?

      This is why I didn’t buy Helldivers 2 even though it looks like so much fun

        Btw, Helldivers 2 is playable on linux, meaning it doesn’t use kernel level anticheat there.
