In this part of the video, it is confirmed that a hacker had access to the PC, likely through a Trojan, but it is still uncertain if it occurred via a Remote Code Execution (RCE) exploit in Apex Legends. Although there is no evidence directly linking the RCE with Apex, several other factors, like the hacker’s access via Port 135, are discussed. It’s suggested that a fresh install of Windows prior to the tournament changes the dynamics, but the possibility of a persistent virus remains. Ultimately, it is emphasized that while some outcomes are more likely, no definitive evidence exists to confirm whether the exploit is related to Apex or if it occurred through another method. An update from Respawn did not clarify the situation, leaving the issue unresolved.
