PUBG Mobile hacks: New anti-cheat system bans 1,498,044 accounts this week

PUBG Mobile is one of the most popular battle royale games on the mobile platform, with millions of players worldwide. This also makes the game vulnerable to cheaters who take unfair advantage with slight modifications to the game.

To tackle such cheaters and maintain fair play, PUBG Mobile developers have some solid anti-cheat systems in place like the Video Review System and the Script Detection System.

They also publish a weekly report informing fans about the action they have taken against cheaters. PUBG Mobile has now published its fifteenth report for cheaters who have been banned in the previous week, i.e., from 4th December to 12th December.

This week's report revealed that over 1,498,044 accounts were banned from PUBG Mobile for defrauding, with each receiving a permanent suspension.

The first report was posted on 29th August, in which 1,273,152 accounts were suspended, and the second one saw 1,838,223 accounts being suspended.

Last week, PUBG Mobile suspended 1,450,234 accounts for cheating. This week, they have banned 3% fewer cheaters as compared to last week.
