New exploit that remotely disarms and strips players of any or all items.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

While overlooking the NEAF from the northern tree line though some binoculars I had all my items stripped off me instantly. leaving me naked. Moments later the exact same thing happens to a couple of my friends who were located in the buildings just south of the NEAF one by one.

I remained conscious the entire time and my stance did not change. All items were removed simultaneously. The "cancel action" option displayed above my crosshair for a moment (about 3-5 seconds) right after I was stripped. I heard no other players near me.

It's a hacking script that has an item magnet script and a disarm script, it disarms you an when all your stuff drops on the floor the item magnet pulls everything to the hacker, i've seen it before and on twitch highlights too, look up 'Merkadis' and look at his highlight, it's a new hack that isn't 1 week old.

@Ikagara Yep it's private as there are links to a hacker site and code in the ticket so I thought best.

FredX, the issue you linked is private I think, when I click on the link I get to a access denied page.

edit: @fredX Sounds good to keep that private.
