Apex Legends North American Finals Postponed Due to Hackers Distributing Cheats Mid-Game

The latest news from the world of Apex Legends:

The highly anticipated North American finals of Apex Legends have been postponed due to hackers who were reportedly giving competitors cheats mid-game. According to Forbes, pro players participating in the finals were unexpectedly given cheats like aimbots and wall hacks, causing chaos and ruining the event. One player was even banned for using an aimbot before Respawn took action and shut down the tournament.

Clips of players being hacked have circulated on social media, showing how the hackers were able to give unfair advantages to players in the middle of matches. It’s unclear how these hackers were able to access a private lobby for an esports final and distribute cheats to players. The extent of the issue and its impact on non-esports players of Apex Legends is still unknown.

The X account Anti-Cheat Police Department has warned against playing games with Easy Anti-Cheat protection until the issue is resolved. They reported on an exploit in Apex Legends that allows hackers to inject cheats into players’ machines, posing serious security risks.

The official Apex Legends Esports account has announced the postponement of the NA finals to ensure the integrity of the competition. More information will be shared soon. Stay tuned for updates on this developing situation.
