ALGS hacker claims he just wanted Respawn to fix an exploit—and to have fun

After widespread concern following the Apex Legends Global Series hacking scandal, Destroyer2009 allegedly stepped forward and explained why he decided to pull off the stunt.

On March 17, Respawn Entertainment was forced to postpone the ALGS North American Regional Final after TSM’s ImperialHal and DarkZero’s Genburten had their accounts hacked into and filled with game-breaking cheats. The source of the hacking incident was all but confirmed to be a hacker called Destroyer2009 according to messages typed into Genburten’s game chat. In an interview with TechCrunch, Destroyer2009 confirmed he did it “just for fun” and wanted to make the devs fix the exploit he used to access the pros’ accounts, but did not reveal how he was able to pull off the feat.
