We’ve recently seen an increase in player reports and community discussions regarding harassment and cheating. […] On Friday, August 30th, we received reports that a small number of our active streamers and community members were disconnected from the game and appeared to have been temporarily banned. For some players, this also involved attacks from malicious actors within the game.

Our live team quickly discovered a vulnerability in our support toolset that allowed these actions. The Player Support team restored access to all players within 10 minutes and the vulnerability was subsequently patched within an hour. This was an isolated issue within the support toolset and therefore did not impact the overall game or player information.

Although they were only at risk for a short period of time, some players were found to be engaging in unacceptable behavior that violated our Code of ConductThis vulnerability has now been fixed.
