    Valve says this is just one step in the ongoing fight against cheating.

    It's not too often that Valve comes out swinging their big ban hammer, but yesterday was one such occasion. On the official Dota 2 blog, Valve revealed that they have recently permanently banned over 40,000 accounts that were caught using third-party software to cheat. Valve used the cheaters' access to information "that wasn't visible during normal gameplay" to confirm their suspicions and dish out some...

    Destiny 2 Cheat Maker has Countersuit Dismissed

    A federal court has dismissed the countersuit due to lack of evidence.

    A Destiny 2 cheat maker and provider, AimJunkies, has had their countersuit against Bungie dismissed by a federal court this week.

The cheat maker also claims that Bungie violated DMCA law by circumventing...

    NewsBits: Rollback Edition

    Oops.

    You ever have think, "Hey, it's 1AM, let's do something stupid!" Because let me tell you, I sure as hell had that thought last night. Let's just say mistakes, actually several of them, were made. One such mistake was the fact that I neglected to perform a full site backup before I proceeded to do several more stupid things. This led to just being unable to do anything with the server.

    My plan was to restore a backup from earlier in the week. I decided,...

    Call of Duty Warzone Hacked Lobbies Offer Instant Max Weapon Upgrades

    This will probably be fixed soon.

    It looks like there is a new server-wide hack or exploit going around in Call of Duty: Warzone at present. Players have reported joining hacked lobbies in various Warzone game types that will instantly level up their weapon to max level (70) after earning just one kill.

    According to a post on Reddit, streamer Dr Disrespect encountered this hacked lobby weapon boost earlier today. Another streamer, TimTheTatman also found himself in one...

    Maybe just don't cheat in the first place.

    Activision has recently updated their security enforcement policy to say that any "extreme or repeated violations" may result in a permanent suspension from every Call of Duty title.

  • Call of Duty's New Anti-Cheat, Ricochet, to Use Kernel-Level Driver

    Call of Duty's New Anti-Cheat, Ricochet, to Use Kernel-Level Driver

    This is about as invasive an anti-cheat as you can get.

    On October 12, the Call of Duty devs issued a vague, ominous, and really cringey warning to cheaters. As it stands, the new anti-cheat for Call of Duty: Warzone wasn't slated to be released until Call of Duty: Vanguard released later this year. So, what then were they teasing to be revealed today?

    Well, it was the reveal announcement for their new anti-cheat. They call it Ricochet, which is not to be confused with...

    Call of Duty Cheaters Issued Ominous Threat from Activision

    I guess Activision is... rising up?

    Look cheaters, you best not mess with Call of Duty devs because they're one step away from leveling up and you look like just enough XP. If that made you cringe, you're in the right place to see even more cringe.

    The Call of Duty twitter account issued a weird, kind of ominous, kind of cringe-filled threat to cheaters today. In their all caps message, the account said that "CHEATERS AREN'T WELCOME" and that "SOON YOU'LL...
