      That’s exactly the sort of source I was asking for

      Edit: the driver file was used after gaining access to the pc. So quite an involved attack but still really bad.

      Edit 2: so actually it’s nothing to do with having it installed. As the attacker installed it.

        Yes it requires access to the pc but it’s still a huge vulnerability. Many things can gain access to your pc but lack the permissions to do any damage. In this case simply having genshin impact installed put you at significantly more risk.

        To your 2nd edit yes it is to do with it being installed. The user or the attack installing the anticheat is still the anticheat being used to exploit.
