Remote code execution in Titanfall 2 client

Question

Hackers can now make players join networks in Titanfall 2 without their consent through remote code execution.

This happened to me yesterday during matchmaking, the network is called "[CHTR] I got RCED", it currently has around 300 players.

Apparently, there are vulnerabilities in game client, and it is unclear what kind of code they allow to run on user PCs, this could be a major security issue.

Wonder if this problem will get adressed, since Respawn did nothing about the DDoSing problem for months.

Not really, I notified EA support, but only got a standard reply.In my experience, Respawn doesn't reply to tweets about Titanfall, especially when it comes to technical issues.

@1eadwo1f Twitter this to [at]Respawn and see what reply you get from there.

@1eadwo1f Just checking in to see if you've learned anything new on this since last?

@1eadwo1f That's a shared experience, my friend. I can't help but feel it's sort of like a parent disowning a child. The devs like to pat themselves on the back for what their baby has achieved but won't put in the minimum effort needed to keep it alive past its infant stage. It's a shame, 'cause their baby really did achieve some impressive things.
