Video game publisher Activision this week launched perhaps the biggest Fortnite challenger to date. The new game, Call of Duty: Warzone, is a free-to-play battle royale game that has quickly become one of the most popular games in the world.
However, the game has also been plagued by cheaters. Players have been using hacks to gain an unfair advantage, such as aimbots and wallhacks. Activision has been cracking down on cheaters, but it has been a difficult task.
Now, it seems that hackers have found a new way to target cheaters: by stealing their cryptocurrency.
According to CoinDesk, hackers have been targeting cheaters who have been using cryptocurrency to buy and sell in-game items. The hackers have been able to steal millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency from these cheaters.
This is a significant development in the fight against cheating in video games. If hackers are able to continue to target cheaters in this way, it could make cheating much less attractive.
It is important to note that this is still a developing story. It is unclear how many cheaters have been affected by this hack, and it is also unclear how much cryptocurrency has been stolen. However, it is clear that this is a significant development in the fight against cheating in video games.
