Blue Hole said that a large number of "PUBG" players played black accounts, with 100,000 weekly bans

PUBG developer Bluehole recently published a blog post discussing the game's widespread cheating and the steps the company is taking, saying that the team permanently suspends 60,000 and up to 100,000 illegal accounts every week. One of the most important points is that a large number of open and hanging players play "black households".

The ranking model is the hardest hit area for cheating, and Bluehole divides problematic accounts into two categories, one is the stolen account, and the other is the use of improper means to brush the survival proficiency level account, the former is the mainstream. The analysis shows that 85% of the permanent bans were created before the game became free (January 2022), not that these accounts have been cheating in the past, but later used plugins after the number was stolen.

There is a complete industry chain of number theft, hackers steal a legitimate account and resell it to other players, and the player opens a big killing party, and then buys another after being banned.

The game sets that new accounts are not allowed to participate in ranked matches until level 80, but the studio uses the script to brush the experience before selling the account to the player.

Bluehole's anti-cheat team claims to have developed a machine learning model that can detect anomalies in these accounts, including various open-hook behaviors. The system has been in operation since this year and has achieved some results, as the cost of studios has risen significantly and some have been withdrawn.

Finally, Bluehole encourages everyone to install Steam Guard mobile authenticators and more to keep their accounts safe.
