The number of people who are willing for the opportunity cheating in video games spending is estimated at less than one percent, but in reality it still means tens of thousands of individuals ruining the entertainment of millions. Although gaming companies are reaching for harsher penalties, they are still losing the fight against fraudsters.
There are many ways of cheating, especially popular with aiming assistants and the opportunity to see through the walls.

Online operators take this issue very seriously and invest in dizzying sums. This week, Activision Blizzard boasted a lot of pomp with Ricochet’s new technology to end the Call of Duty cheat for good. The technological solution was indeed sophisticated, because it extended to the very core of the operating system (the so-called kernel), which was until recently unthinkable from the public’s point of view (see our article about the shooter Valorant). But the fraudsters are so annoying that most players were eventually willing to try this solution.
Unfortunately, now it seems that despite great promises, nothing fundamental will change. The Internet group Anti-Cheat Police Department (of course it’s just an exaggeration, they have nothing to do with the official police) has shown on its social networks that Ricochet’s source code has already leaked to the Internet and cheat makers are working hard to get around it.
Of course, there is a certain chance that it is only a hoax, or a deliberately sent false clue from the publisher, but rather we guess that the promised end is being postponed to fraudsters again.
Unfortunately, the kernel driver for @CallofDuty new Anti-cheat called RICOCHET got leaked today, and P2C devs are already reversing it, this is already very bad. https://t.co/Vb8f3eXx5b
