@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken have you seen how many main stream hackers get high level jobs? I understand you’re not in that space and he may have to pay reparations (if caught), but it’s pretty common to hire the best hackers for positions in cybersecurity and Thor talks about this often.
As a student in cybersecurity, I am absolutely in love to see one of my favorite games being talked about in a cybersecurity sense. Yes its pretty bad for this to happen, but both of my intrests just coming together is absolute bliss
I'm also in the same boat. It's intriguing. With the limited information I'm working with, my theory was that they somehow turned the game into something akin to Anydesk and injected the cheats in realtime. But for that to happen, they also need to connect to these streamers' exact instances.
Has anyone figured out that he simply flagged himself as a dev and is using the built-in dev tools? No hacks or cheats. Everything shown is what a dev account can do. Ban people, make invincible, give away packs, spawn bots. Seems pretty obvious he's just gotten access to the cheats that came with the game. That's why he had access to their systems. A dev can do those things in live games.
You should've seen his mods, one of them named "Collucid" is ALWAYS there whatever time he streams, and his main thing is telling people to shut up if they havent been subbed to Hal for a very long time, basicly just shaming people with 1-5monthes badges, acutal pisslow asshole
I have got mad respect for this guy. He is doing what respawn should be doing right now. He is supporting the players who have been hacked and potentially worried about their compromised devices. Big props to him taking time out of his day to do this
@@StraightBleach - i dont see any ea or Respawn employees in calls with them. If this bloke can do it on stream, then they can too. Dispell the rumours of hal and gen cheating makes sense too
I think he only showed himself because Burten never noticed the aimbot. The bow made it hard to notice. The hacker wasn't satisfied, so he showed himself and gave him wall hax. Hals aimbot was noticed right away, so no text or wall hacks.
@@MrVirtuezzzIt's different. He had two weird things happen, as he said. 1. obvious black screen 2. his game looking slightly off. Very different things.
The evidence suggests a rogue dev or this guy found a way to flag himself as a dev account. Think about it. If a dev jumped in a game and gave infinite ammo, sent messages, spawned bots and gave away packs, you'd be like "yup, that's what devs can do, because they're devs". Why make hacks when you can use the built-in dev tools? I suspect he's flagged as a dev. That would explain why no virus is needed. It's already built into the game. Any dev can do these things, and they don't need a virus to do it, just a dev flagged account. Simplest answer to me. Has Thor addressed this possibility, do u know?
Imagine if he decided to troll government institutions and hospitals 💀 those things got the worst kinds of vulnerabilities and the damage could be severe. At least he’s just trolling games… Or maybe he’s already doing those, just using different name…
Hal's chat saying Thor is reaching or yapping when he is literally troubleshooting in real time with only the information that he's being told without knowing the ins and outs of apex
As a security researcher and cyber professional i couldn't agree more with what was mentioned by the Sec guy. If the potentially compromised box is still in the same state when the hack occurred i would also recommend firing up the game and running process explorer to dig down and see what svchost has spawned as this may give you an idea as to where the foothold took place
I watched the entire 40 minute clip and I do not regret it AT ALL! When Thor speeds it sounds like asmr and I learned so much from him. Very interesting🔥🔥🔥 I hope they catch destroyer!

@@gcvibedude, if you watched the video you'd know that both Hal and Pirate agree the ALGS hack and ranked/store hacks are obviously different instances or methods
@@Glaedr11 yes of course, but it's also said that from one vulnerability you can get to the other and in this case a omg type device could be considered for the end user vulnerability and not the first one. Check Thor's vod of yesterday stream, way more detailed than this one.
The guy is a professional hacker and saying he doesn't have the answer is obvious because he does not directly have access to see files that would give the evidence of where the hack originated from.
his chat is so brain dead, Pirate finds a digitalocean IP and they act like they found this dude's IP address and that a subpoena = HE GOT CAUGHT GUYS!
I know this has nothing to do with any of this but this whole situation reminds me of death note. Two geniuses basically fighting each other about something that is thought to be impossible to do.
Did you not actually listen to what Thor said? The devs here are on the same side. They have to wait for the culprit to fuck up them they make their move
Hal is so quiet because he knows and respects he’s in the presence of someone who absolutely is a juggernaut in what he’s talking about. Edit: his last comment was before I commented. 😂
idk what was in the screenshot he shared, but if all it showed is "traffic" on port 135, that doesn't mean the attacker actually had an active RDP session. That IP comes up in virustotal/greynoise as a scanner, and it's possible that the screenshot just showed Hal getting scanned, not actively connected
Although its super bad, and its quite terrifying that he might be able to access your actual pc... he's doing gods work in terms of making respawn act - hopefully other game devs will be taking notes and also be upgrading their anticheat :)
its not hard to query a master server and get a list of servers. what he needs to know is who's on the server. The master servers do not reveal player names since decades. Last time they showed the player names was back in the days of Gamespy, which many games used their master server query protocol.
Unfortunately this is exactly what we needed for something to change. They're worried about configs meanwhile we got this demon over here ruining it for the pros lol
makes you wonder if this destroyer dude had something to do with why titanfall 2 had such a huge bot issue for years and this is his retaliation to them fixing tf2
HisWattson should probably replace his entire PC, too. HisWattson could be sabotaged in the next event considering Hal, Mande, and him were sent free packs from Destroyer2009 and Thor believes it's most likely on the personal machine's side.
Yer agree am just an old fart from cs go but i do play br for casual and fun and lack of content somtimes, one thing for sure this game was more ore less normal when it came out to s5-s8 it was unplayable and now s19 s20 it have gone to far i would never ever try to be competive in game ported for both (pc and console) it opens up to many ways to exploit.

@@silentKeys20 it’s not literal it’s more of a joke clowning on respawn because respawn can’t say how far they got just like you don’t know if they have retained that info. But he did get some info

Apex game files is how. If they had a recent update apex could have had their stuff edited before update. Thats how a trojan starts and how this all happened
I'm sorry but this is such a massive reach by PirateSoftware... that IP is a crawler (an IP which is constantly mass scanning the internet), this also makes 135 a totally normal port for this IP to be probing, it has been flagged as malicious in 9 separate blacklists for ages and it will be in any basic antivirus IOC list... meaning any basic antivirus would have blocked that. The connection MAY be connected somehow but its so unbelievably unlikely that it was successful and without a whole TON of further context, it means NOTHING. For instance: when was the connection, was it successful, if it wasn't was there only one attempt, are there any correlated windows events at that time, any evidence of scripts being run, etc... Basically, finding that IP should be a jump off point for the beginning of a single track in an investigation, not treated as evidence in itself. Thore is an offensive red team specialist, and it does really show during this analysis lmao! For context, I am a professional CTI analyst and trained in SWAT digital forensics. I have taken part in around 100 successful forensic missions.
that was one of my first thoughts too. As much as people want to catch the hacker sometimes it's not possible due to their proper OPSEC practices. The main purpose of cybersecurity is to prevent hacks in the first place. I'm sure Thor knows this but he's dealing with a community of people who watch streamers, who know nothing about IT or cybersecurity and is trying his best to educate them.
Also I doubt the owner of the web crawler center is operating publicly or destroyer is connected to them by any traceable means for authorities to begin tracking down.
The biggest thing is either the attackers not screwing up or the devs not doing anything like we suspect. Bc they can't be screwing up if its getting worse lol
If he can join your lobby and access the server based on joining you then surely he has your ip? You can change pc or re install windows but he’d still know what was connected to your WiFi and would have access to any device on the network because wether it was 1 month or 1 year, that wouldn’t change
The irony is that this was 100% incorrect, the inbound 'connection' on port 135 was due to a scan because TSM ImperialHal had exposed his device to the PUBLIC INTERNET (bypassing NAT restrictions) via Port Forwarding or placing the device in the DMZ..... lol (place anything on the public internet and it gets scanned within seconds/minutes)
Okay hear me out, a good villan story. All started with Tufi. He cheated his ass off and literally shat on Destroyer2009 back in the days. Destroyer got fed up about the bad anti cheat system and decided to evolve himself. And now we're in this situation. The only way now to fight Destroyer2009 is to release his creator from ban prison.

I'm sure Thor knows this but he's dealing with a community of people who watch streamers, who know nothing about IT or cybersecurity and is trying his best to educate them.
Also I doubt the owner of the web crawler center is operating publicly or destroyer is connected to them by any traceable means for authorities to begin tracking down.
i bet that 2009 at the end of the hackers name is something inputent to him rather the year of his or someone else's birth or like a anniversary
At the end: "I feel dumb" bruh, don't worry, Thor is an expert and actual pro hacker, there's nothing to feel ashamed of.
The biggest thing is either the attackers not screwing up or the devs not doing anything like we suspect. Bc they can't be screwing up if its getting worse lol
If he can join your lobby and access the server based on joining you then surely he has your ip? You can change pc or re install windows but he’d still know what was connected to your WiFi and would have access to any device on the network because wether it was 1 month or 1 year, that wouldn’t change
This guy did more in 30 minutes than EA in years..
The irony is that this was 100% incorrect, the inbound 'connection' on port 135 was due to a scan because TSM ImperialHal had exposed his device to the PUBLIC INTERNET (bypassing NAT restrictions) via Port Forwarding or placing the device in the DMZ..... lol (place anything on the public internet and it gets scanned within seconds/minutes)
Okay hear me out, a good villan story.
All started with Tufi. He cheated his ass off and literally shat on Destroyer2009 back in the days. Destroyer got fed up about the bad anti cheat system and decided to evolve himself. And now we're in this situation.
The only way now to fight Destroyer2009 is to release his creator from ban prison.

please YES this would be the best thing that ever happened to apex
i got banned by hideouts for sending him a clip of destroyer 4 months back
I got banned for having the name “saucegay uchiha” even though I rocked it for 2 months before then
@@bleach7958 cos someone reported you. Otherwise you wouldn't get banned
@@DarkAuroraBlade true. That’s still kinda trash tho how I’m getting banned for a play on words. Also the guy that reported me probably wasn’t even offended by my name
Does anyone know the timestamp from Hal’s vod or pirates vod when they start talking about this???
Who reached out to who? Thor to mande, or mande to Thor. If he reached out to Mande it’s sus. Mande also received 4K packs from destroyer
While Thor was live Mande was commenting in Thor’s chat that he was willing to talk about it
Destroyer2009 meaning likely born in 2009. Ladies and gentlemen we are dealing with a 15 year old.
Hal: I FELT DUMB lol 😆😆😆
the huge lead is a jumpbox used by a dozen people before destroyer2009
Thor is Howard Stern’s son.. confirmed.
Actually, Thors dad is the guy South Park based the "WoW gamer guy" on, no joke. www.twitch.tv/piratesoftware/clip/DirtyRudePineappleHotPokket-5O0zpDLNgOZKwZpp
EA jumping straight on Hal’s case for the info they just found out is crazy man😬
I am now going to add ‘moment of intrusion’ to my repertoire with the Mrs
