Phasmophobia hackers invade lobby area

As the video game continues to attract more takers, it appears that the game has been plagued with several bizarre occurrences enforced by hackers. There are numerous reports online around hackers invading other player's games by setting off all kinds of jump scare animations, changing AI behaviour, and summoning items in the game lobby, among other things. This is obviously ruining the game for most players, while it may also be quite disturbing for others.

Game developers are aware of the hacks and they have asked requested users to avoid using the lobbies. It is likely that the issue will soon be resolved, although we don't have a timeframe on when a fix will be deployed.
