The hacker, who goes by Vizor, tells TechCrunch that they exploited a bug in the popular game’s anti-cheat software for months.
Vizor said they could simply send a private message — known as a “whisper” in the game — that included one of these hardcoded strings, such as “Trigger Bot,” and get the player they were messaging banned from the game.
That is so fucking stupid.
