‘Security is chalked’: Creator warnings send Apex players rushing to uninstall after ALGS hack

Apex Legends creators are warning players and pros alike to uninstall the Respawn Entertainment battle royale and its anti-cheat software today after pro players ImperialHal and Genburten were hacked live during the North American Split One ALGS Regional Finals.

The live Apex hacks, which have never been seen before in the ALGS, hit two of the most prominent pro players, both of whom were streaming when the incident occurred. Confusion and panic quickly spread through the community due to the highly publicised nature of the attack. Creators on X (formerly Twitter) have urged players to delete Apex and any connected anti-cheat software until further notice—and many are already following that advice believing it’s better to be safe than sorry.
