I mean, a hacker will say its patched when it isn't to keep using the exploit. So this isn't exactly the most reliable source.
- They specifically used it to make major players blatantly cheat during a tournament so that it would be taken seriously and fixed quickly.
  
  You mean some players in a tournament were cheating unknowingly? Lmao
Still not convinced he was able to RCE their machines through the games. Aren’t there clips of one of the streamers downloading someone posted in a link somewhere?
- Situation investigation/rundown from a cyber security expert.
