Warzone cheat website shuts down in fear of Activision lawsuit Activision \/ PixabayWith Call of Duty: Warzone\u2019s recent action against hackers, it seems that another cheat website is biting the dust. Reportedly concerned about an Activision-Blizzard lawsuit, a hack provider has shut down all their CoD services. Free-to-play titles like Warzone can easily become a safe haven for hackers, who are able to simply create new accounts whenever they\u2019re punished. But the game\u2019s developers have started swinging the pendulum in their favor. Starting with the kernel-level driver introduced by Ricochet Anti-Cheat, CoD\u2019s devs are steadily curbing their cheating problems. Now, following a lawsuit against one of the biggest hack websites, others are taking notice. According to a statement posted to their Telegram account, Cynical Software are shutting down all Warzone and CoD cheating products. Warzone cheat provider shuts down amid Activision legal efforts Cheat provider Cynical Software announced in their public Telegram channel today that they are immediately stopping sales of CoD related hacks & cheats as they don\u2019t want to get sued. \u2014 CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) January 5, 2022 With Activision-Blizzard taking aim at EngineOwning, it appears that a trickle-down effect is in play. EO is known as one of the biggest cheat providers and Activision\u2019s lawsuit calls for a maximum of $2,500 per violation, equating to \u201cmillions of dollars\u201d owed. That context sets an intimidating precedent for other cheat providers, who may not like the idea of battling Activision over millions. As such, Cynical Software didn\u2019t wait a full 24 hours before deciding to shut down their services too. In their Telegram announcement, the hack service explained that \u201call CoD related titles have been removed from the store and are no longer available to purchase.\u201d This is good news for normal players, but unideal for cheaters \u2013 who have already been enraged by bans anyway. Of concern, though, is the fact that the company plans to keep their \u201cCleaner\u201d and \u201cP00fer\u201d products online. These services allow PC users to cleanse or \u201cspoof\u201d their hardware, as a way to circumvent bans. It remains unclear if Activision will find a way to target spoofers next, but Warzone players are already encouraged by the fact that cheat websites are taking note of legal action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
