The clips of the hacks being installed/activated are pretty crazy:
Note that the title has been edited: we do NOT know if this was EAC yet. The article says it "may have been." EAC has claimed it wasn't them (but of course they're going to claim that). Instead, it could have been Apex's source engine. Or, it could have been two individually compromised machines from software completely unrelated to Apex; remember, these are two high-profile targets, after all. We just have to wait and see what the real cause was. Regardless, I wouldn't play Apex for at least the next day or two, just to be safe.
I'm not in the community at all, but I have to respect how these players reacted to getting hacked. I'm sure it was devastating to have their tournament run ruined in that way.
