This week in Anti-cheat & cheating · updated Fri Oct 23 2026

PC gaming's anti-cheat landscape faced multiple developments this week. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 introduced Server Culling technology to counter wallhacks by preventing servers from transmitting player location data through walls and obstacles, addressing a persistent vulnerability. Meanwhile, the upcoming Tomb Raider remake saw its Steam listing temporarily stripped of Denuvo anti-cheat protection, though whether intentional or procedural remains unclear given similar reversals with other titles. Separately, a security breach at Discord's third-party service Double Counter exposed roughly one million email addresses and partial data on tens of millions of accounts, highlighting vulnerabilities in gaming platform infrastructure despite payment information remaining protected.
