I hope it's EA and they make them pay to unlock their servers back

Or riot/epic and make them complete a fucking battlepass to get them back

Some exploit will go flying inside some gaming associated company like an ntercontinental ballistic missile in the coming days

VX is a prominent cybersecurity group they're often the first to have the scoop on new threats and intel

A 0day is a type of exploit that compromises someone's PC without any prior action/input from the user

We don’t know which product is affected but they said its gaming related

It won't if you turn it off from the startup apps in the task manager. Also you won't be able to play Valorant unless you restart with it on.

they said no Epic, no Steam and no Discord. So can be Riot with Vanguard, CoD with Ricochet anticheat, EA with EA Anticheat, BattlEye in many ubisoft's games or also Easy Anticheat (EAC) a very common anticheat in many games. Another scenario is maybe the xbox app in windows

Is there a way to protect my self from it? What are the implications if I do end up getting it on my PC?

with the little I know is that almost all online games today have kernel-level anti cheats, maybe the only way would be to uninstall all games that have an anticheat, but I don't know really, is a blind shot. Other people in the tweet say it could be the xbox app of windows, so who knows. What's weird is that they say it's not Steam or Epic, however several games that can be downloaded from these platforms come with their own anticheat, and they mention that it shouldn't affect business PCs unless the worker plays, so it sounds to me that the xbox app can be since you need to sign in with an account.

I saw them say no steam and discord. Did they say somewhere else that Epic is safe too?

the vxunderground account is not reliable, and BIG IF this ever happens few days will pass before the 0-day becomes weaponized.
and probably will be introduced through 3-party tools around games and not the games themselves
