But don’t just trust our word on this. We’ve also worked with independent, 3rd party security and privacy assessors to validate EA anticheat does not degrade the security posture of your PC and to ensure strict data privacy boundaries.

Uhm this is just their word that they worked with independent 3rd party security and privacy assessors. They should name those so that one can verify their word.

And even if everything they say is true, just because no vulnerabilities were found doesn't mean there aren't any. Or that there won't be any in the future. Or that EA won't be using it for bullshit.

In my opinion, the risk is vulnerabilities in their driver. Threat actors love a signed driver that runs at a level like this. Saw Genshin Impact’s driver in an incident one time.

This is like having a random dude living in your walls, peeping at you through your vents. And when you call the police they say, "no need to worry, we have confirmed that there is indeed a random dude living in your walls".

I belive its secure because until now noone found an exploit in multiplayer games with anti-cheats yet and used it to install cheats during the finals of an E-Sports tornament or something.
