Name an exploit in EAC/BattlEye/Vanguard/FaceIT/whatever other big name anticheat middleware (though Vanguard and FaceIT don’t sell their services I think) that has actually been used for anything.

Genshin Impact’s driver got used as a vulnerable driver that one time, yeah. EAC had an exploit to inject your own code into processes, but that quickly got patched (https://blog.back.engineering/10/08/2021/).

ESEA's anticheat was used to mine Bitcoin on the players' computers. They are/were a major competitor of FaceIt. They supposedly had to pay a $1 million settlement over it.

So not an exploit, but even worse.

Well, I read HN. I did stop counting.

Unless you beleive in the conspiracy of AI generated news on HN.

You are the same type of guys who is going to try to sell 'computer security' as a deliverable, thing which does not exist.

Please, stop that.
