Cheaters gets busted …
Chinese authorities have apprehended 15 individuals tied to a gang that has been developing and selling cheat programs for the ever so popular PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. The arrested suspects have been fined around 30 million yuan, equivalent to 4.71 million dollars. While this is great progress, the police will continue their efforts to bring the whole gang to justice. According to the local Chinese newspapers, the notorious gang probably profited over 30 million yuans from selling their programs to PUBG players. Some of the programs that were being sold also came with hidden malicious code to steal the victims’ login credentials and other personal data. Earlier this year, Chinese police also arrested around 120 people suspected of creating cheats for the popular battle royale. A huge portion of PUBG’s player base resides in China which makes selling cheats to the Chinese population an extremely lucrative activity. Heck, even Dell advertised their latest gaming laptops as great for running multiple ‘plugins’ in PUBG.
