PUBG Mobile hacks: New anti-cheat system bans 1,650,625 accounts this week

With the rise of Mobile Gaming in the past few years, there is a substantial increase in the emergence of hackers. PUBG Mobile, one of the leaders in the industry, is often attacked by hackers. Hacks like Auto-Aim, X-Ray Vision, etc are quite common among cheaters. Their repeated use not only disrupts the regular players but also degrades the game's value.
