Respawn release statement following viral Apex Legends hack

Apex Legends developer Respawn has finally spoken out about last weekend’s unprecedented hacking attack that left the Apex Legends community—and the wider gaming sphere—in disbelief, reassuring the game’s player base and reaffirming security measures are in place.

The now infamous “Destroyer2009” hack, which saw cheating software planted on DarkZero’s Genburten and TSM’s ImperialHal midway through the NA ALGS regional finals, has been shrouded in mystery. Both EA and Respawn withheld any statement until 48 hours after the incident occurred, likely to ensure they were able to investigate the cause without further disruption from the culprit. Although Respawn’s statement has provided some clarification, several questions remain about the incident.
