Context/TLDR: The Titanfall 1/2 servers have been unplayable for months now, due to someone hacking the servers and launching DDOS attacks on streamers. A Reddit user known as p0358 seemed to have a fix for the problem (adjusting lines of code) and the community declared them a hero. A week later, they get exposed as the hacker, alongside a group of individuals known for the infamous July 4th Apex Legends attack (which they framed SaveTitanfall for) and a reddit moderator for r/Titanfall. P0358 did this in order to attempt to get control over the Titanfall servers so they could resurrect a dead project known as Titanfall Online.

It actually goes one layer deeper

So after this broke someone on Resetera searched for P0538 as a username and it pulled up this two year old thread

And TWO years ago this dude outed himself as the hacker cause some guy made a thread about TF1 being unplayable and I guess he randomly got spooked and wanted to know why he was being accused but no one accused this dude.

Yeah, it's unreal, but really, there'd be no reason back then to 100% know it wasn't just some dumbass. There's a lot of stupid people out there.

...but yeah, the hacker was even stupider because it WAS the person.
