        Kernel level Anti-Cheat has access to all the hardware and software on the computer. So if the Anti-Cheat is ever compromised through a vulnerability, then those hackers would have complete control over your system.

      Nearly every major anti cheat implementation is ring-0 access. If you have any game with EasyAntiCheat or BattlEye installed, you’ve also got one. This is of course not to say they aren’t a worrying thing, but they aren’t abnormal and HD2 certainly isn’t the only one to use it.
