The approach of treating each hacker as a unique bad actor is utterly absurd and shows EA doesn't care at all about solving the problem.
The hacking is possible purely because the production version of the game has development (debug) code inside of it. The flying characters, the global match messages visible to both teams, etc. -- these are all features used by developers.
Anyone who's managed any reasonably sized software engineering project understands that you just don't do this. You have QA/testing builds, and you have the production build. You simply don't include any development/debug related code in the production version of the game. Then nobody can use that functionality to hack anything.
So what's happening in threads like this is EA's support agents are simply placating the players by asking for hackers to be reported. If anyone at EA actually cared, the problem would be solved in no time on the CI/CD pipeline level. But it hasn't been, and reporting individual hackers won't change that.
