PUBG Mobile hacks: New anti-cheat system bans 809,566 accounts this week

PUBG Mobile has seen tremendous success since its debut in 2018. The Battle Royale has enjoyed unparalleled success in terms of downloads, revenues, and other metrics.

However, the growing popularity of the game has led a few to attempt to obtain unfair advantages through third-party applications.

To combat this, developers of the game have created an anti-cheat system that automatically prevents cheaters from playing the game by suspending their accounts.

PUBG Mobile publishes a weekly report to raise awareness about the types of cheats employed and the number of banned accounts.
