[PC] NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered - Exploit With EA IDs
Hello everyone! I'm reposting this from a friend on Discord, forwarding it here to let you guys know. I'll let it speak for itself as it's a massive one.
I put Hot Pursuit Remastered on the title, but this has affected the original 2010 game, as well as Most Wanted '12 - and could be paramount in other EA titles.
"We believe there is now mounting evidence there is a hack that can exploit EA IDs and hackers have the ability to kick and grief players out of lobbies. Not only that but hackers can hack into the VoIP settings in game to eavesdrop and talk to players in-game, even if the VoIP settings are turned off. Attached is a video supporting this evidence and CT scripts have been circulating for such games.
So far it has affected HP/HPR/MW12. However we also suspect this also happen to other EA games with multiplayer lobbies as EA ID is an EA App/EA service issue. If games have cross play, then all platforms will be affected.
I'm raising this as a PSA because we need to spread awareness for EA to patched this security vulnerability. Hacks like this is potentially dangerous and can be an invasion of privacy. Something EA MUST take seriously of."
From information I've gathered I believe they're using a program as simple as Cheat Engine to get the exploit working, and there could potentially be other programs made to exploit it even further. I can provide additional information if needed. So far I was able to grab a screenshot of the exploit in action.
