Respawn finds no evidence of \u201cserious vulnerabilities\u201d after fixing Titanfall 2 hack Respawn EntertainmentRespawn released a Titanfall 2 update to address a \u201cgame-crashing exploit,\u201d but found no evidence of \u201cserious vulnerabilities\u201d despite claims from players that their PCs had been compromised. A number of Titanfall 2 players suspected their computers had been compromised after launching the game, claiming the client was affected by an exploit that allowed hackers to gain access to their computers. The fear intensified after community member \u2018DirectXeon\u2019 urging players to \u201cplease uninstall the game and do not launch it. However, Respawn looked into it and claimed it was nothing more than a \u201csimple exploit\u201d that could be used to crash games. \u201cWe are aware of reports of a security vulnerability affecting Titanfall 2 and are investigating,\u201d they said. \u201cOur engineers believe that we\u2019re dealing with a simple exploit that can be used to crash games. We do not believe there are any more serious risks.\u201d An Update: We\u2019re still investigating this issue but our engineers believe that we\u2019re dealing with a simple exploit that can be used to crash games. We do not believe there are any more serious risks to affected players or their machines. We\u2019ll update again as we learn more. \u2014 Respawn (@Respawn) September 9, 2021 Respawn\u2019s efforts continued for almost 24 hours straight. They eventually got to the bottom of what they described as a \u201cgame-crashing exploit\u201d and shipped an update to address it. However, as far as the other claims go, they found no evidence of any \u201cserious vulnerabilities.\u201d They promised to \u201ckeep an eye out for further issues,\u201d but concluded that the case was more or less closed for the time being. Our team has shipped an update to address the game-crashing exploit. We found no evidence of any more serious vulnerabilities. We\u2019ll keep an eye out for further issues but consider this one to be closed. \u2014 Respawn (@Respawn) September 10, 2021 It comes after multiple hacks in 2021 in both Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends. Most notably, in July, hackers shut down Apex Legends with the message \u201cSave Titanfall\u201d. It took Respawn 24 hours to fix the servers. Respawn is confident the issue has been resolved, but we\u2019ll keep you updated if more details are made public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
