Tech enthusiasts were able to find a loophole in the security system.
In January, Respawn Entertainment announced a "security incident" in Apex Legends.
Hackers managed to hack the online game and gained the ability to control other players' characters: they threw out equipment and dropped fighters from a great height.
The developers reassured the players that the hackers did not run malicious code on their devices:
During our initial investigation, we have not found any evidence that attackers can install or execute code.
Soon, the creators of Apex Legends announced the release of a fix:
This incident has now been resolved thanks to the help of our community. Anti-cheat is a constant game of "cat and mouse", and your messages are extremely important to draw our attention to information, including what helped us today.
