Episode #0023 – Hacks and Backlash: Apex and Dragon’s Dogma

In this episode of Digital Ascent, we delve into the recent Apex Legends controversy, discussing the vulnerabilities that led to not one, but two hacks – one server-side and the other client-side, affecting tournament games and raising questions about security. We also share insights from the KnowBe4 Conference, highlighting the importance of leadership buy-in and the effectiveness of simulated phishing emails in combating business email compromises. The episode takes a speculative turn as we discuss the potential delay of GTA6 and wrap up with a review of Dragon’s Dogma 2, exploring the community backlash over paid DLC and the contrasting opinions of Fextralife and Worth a Buy.
