Wow it finally happened. So glad I switched to steam running on linux mint last week. I refused to install helldivers because it wanted to install some no holds barred god level permissions anti-cheat software. Windows 11 was the last straw for me. Good times…

The volunteers at the Anti-Cheat Police Department have since issued a PSA announcing, “There is currently an RCE exploit being abused in [Apex Legends]” and that it could be delivered via from the game itself, or its anti-cheat protection. “I would advise against playing any games protected by EAC or any EA titles”, they went on to say.

As for players of the tournament, they strongly recommended taking protective measures. “It is advisable that you change your Discord passwords and ensure that your emails are secure. also enable MFA for all your accounts if you have not done it yet”, they said, “perform a clean OS reinstall as soon as possible. Do not take any chances with your personal information, your PC may have been exposed to a rootkit or other malicious software that could cause further damage.”

    Fyi, it’s “no holds barred” as in no type of hold is disallowed. “no holes barred” is a decidedly different sort of event

      Yeah, the “hole bars” are the ones you wanna go if you’re trying to get lucky in the back if you know what I mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

        I thought hole bars were the things you see in JAV or manga

          Any bar is a hole bar if you’re willing to make a hole and find the right people.

      Point taken, grammar updated, but… since we are talking about basically opening your OS up to anything EA might enjoy doing to it, maybe this is a rare occasion where the mistake fits the context? Just sayin…
