Activision continues its fight against the cheaters in the online game Voice of Duty Warzone and filed a lawsuit this week in the California District Attorney's Office against the EngineOwning site that sells cheats for popular shooting games like Voice of Duty, Battlefield, Halo Infinite, Splitgate and many more.
Some of the services that the site sells mainly include cheats like aim-bot and wall-hacks, allowing players to automatically focus and shoot opponents beyond various walls and radars that scan the environment and inform the cheaters about players near them.
Other cheats sold include triggerbots that fire as soon as an opponent is intentionally caught, cheats that reduce the recoil of the bullets while shooting, and a host of other cheats that give users an unfair advantage in network games.
Activision noted that this is a business website originating in Germany and is responsible for "developing, selling, distributing and marketing cheat programming that allows cheating in a variety of shooting games, with voice-of-duty games being the main goal."

The letter of claim filed by Activision
The company has taken quite a few steps in recent months to try to combat the ugly cheating phenomenon that plagues the game, and last December also launched the new anti-cheating software RICOCHET, which ran at the computer's kernel level.
This actually means that players allow Activision access to their computer specifications.
Such data access allows Activision to isolate players who cheat according to their computer specifications, ranging from a processor, video card and items that may not necessarily be able to counterfeit or replace.
To date Activision has noted that it has struck about 900,000 accounts tagged as cheaters, and this new letter of claim is intended to put gear up against online scammers.
But it seems that despite the new system and the extensive operations that the company is carrying out, the cheaters on the net are still able to find loopholes in the walls of the defense, and only this week did a Reddit user reveal a group of hackers who also provoked a demonstrator in Activision.
Not only does Activision fight the phenomenon, but companies like Ubisoft, Bungie and Riot Games have also filed lawsuits over the months against sites like Ring 1 or GatorCheats that have sold cheats for online games like Valorant, Destiny 2 and Rainbow Six Siege and many more.
