The Chinese police announced the closure of the world's largest organization that sold cheats for online games. A community called Chicken Drumstick has earned, according to various estimates, up to $ 764 million on programs that allow bypassing the rules. According to the BBC, among the seized property of the members of the organization are several very expensive supercars.

• The resource developed and sold support software for multiplayer online games like Overwatch and Call of Duty Mobile. Programs that provide players with undocumented opportunities (see through walls, don't miss, etc.) were sold by subscription at prices ranging from $ 10 per day to $ 200 per month.

• A special operation carried out by the Chinese police in conjunction with the local IT company Tencent allowed the elimination of 17 online platforms for the sale of cheats. In addition, 10 arrested members of the Chicken Drumstick community had $ 46 million worth of property confiscated, including a number of expensive cars. It is not specified which cars were seized, but the published photo shows supercars of the brands Lamborghini, Ferrari and McLaren, as well as a number of premium SUVs. The largest case of online gaming fraud is said to have been suppressed.
• The publication notes that the fight against such fraud has intensified following the growing popularity of esports: in many online games, you can win real cash prizes.
• Modern video games sometimes reach the highest levels of realism. For example, an American designer was able to reproduce a 78-page issue of an automotive magazine using only screenshots of ForzHorizon 4.
