I heard Apex Legends players were hacked through a vulnerability in the game's kernel-mode anti-cheat program (which makes their entire Windows install thoroughly compromised).
This kind of shit is (part of) why I don't play MMORPGs. If your game needs to run a Big Brother with admin access or worse, that's vulnerabilities waiting to happen.
It’s mostly shooters and MOBAs that run anti-cheats. The two biggest MMOs either have extensive mod support (WOW) or mostly have a don’t ask don’t tell implementation of their no third party programs rule (FFXIV)
