Joined a server and this Hack monitor thing was on my screen where the debug monitor used to be

Disconnected. Will try a different server to see if it is still there.

Joined a new server and its gone. How bad is the hacking when someone can hack your game....

He didn't hack your game. He injected the hack so the hack monitor is displayed to the whole server. If you join a different server the monitor will dissapear!

Yes I've been seeing this a lot lately, last night was the most recent. Somebody injects the script into the server just as TSAndrey said. After some research I read that it will teleport and kill you if you press certain buttons. One I know of for sure is F12; commonly used to take screenshots in steam. I guess you can say that this at least prevents anyone from reporting the hacker with proof. As soon as I see it, I log off immediately. If somebody has the resources to inject it, there's no telling what more they'll do.

It also seems the closer we get to the release of the standalone, more people are going to hack. Almost every night my squad has to find another server due to it.

Hope this helps.
