Today, Respawn released a cinematic trailer detailing the backstory for the character. The developer also confirmed the hacker is the eleventh playable Legend in the battle royale game, coming to Apex Legends alongside a bunch of other content drops on October 1st, the start date of Season 3.

The trailer, which you can see below, starts with Crypto hanging out with his (speculated) sister, Mila Alexander. Upon discovering a strange security protocol in the database for King's Canyon, Mila suggests to Crypto that she'll use her new interface package to decrypt the file.
Based on the symbol that pops up when Mila inserts her hacking software, we learn the program that Crypto has been using to hack into King's Canyon these past few months hasn't been his it was made by Mila. The file the two discover turns out to be an algorithm that predicts who will win the next Apex Games, allowing someone to pull a wire scam while betting on future matches.

Also keep in mind that Crypto isn't the only new addition coming to Apex Legends on October 1. The start of Season 3 brings with it a new battle pass, Meltdown, which adds over 100 new items to earn, including Legendary skins and many more.
