Do not panic. Respawn Entertainment has confirmed that last night's alarming rumor of a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Titanfall 2 exploit that wou🃏ld allo༒w hackers full access to your computer or game console was mostly false. Respawn did find a "simple exploit" that could cause games to crash, but nothing that would let hackers run malicious code on your machine.
Last night, images began circulating on social media of Discord messages warning Titanfall 2 players to uninstall their game lest they be hacked by the same menace that has been targeting Titanfall and Apex Legends for the past several months. One Twitter account, , reported an "ACE vulnerability" that would allow attacker൲s "to run programs on your computer without consent."

Although the security vulnerability sounded worse than anything it had ever seen, months of DDOS attacks, server hacks, ﷽and general chicanery has left the Titanfall community expecting the worst.

The original Titanfall has been subjec🦩t to repeated attacks making the game virtually unplayable.
Last month, we found out that the Save Titanfall hacker group's goal was to tryꦓ to revive the canceled Titanfall Online MMO by essentially ruining all Titanfall-related games. You can read about the group's motivations over on the , although their logic seems questionable at best.
The source of last night's panic appears to be the NoSkill Community Discord, the same one that currently operates the Save Titanfall website. This marks yet another twist in the battle Respawn is fighting against this hacker group.
