I have honestly no idea about nameplate anchoring or what Exorsus actually used, but it definitely isn't third-party programs (cheats). They were using the WoW API, maybe they just anchored Line objects?

Some people keep referring to it as WeakAuras scripts. Probably it's the same way addons like H.H.T.D. and I See You Too are anchoring stuff to nameplates. It sucks that chat bubbles also got protected besides the forbidden nameplates

-- does not account for nameplates being recycled
local function ShowNamePlateTexture(unit)
    local np = C_NamePlate.GetNamePlateForUnit(unit)
    if np and not np.tex then
        np.tex = CreateFrame("PlayerModel", nil, np)
        np.tex:SetPoint("BOTTOM", np, "TOP")
        np.tex:SetSize(200, 200)
        np.tex:SetDisplayInfo(21723) -- Murloc Costume
    end
end
