Among the most popular games around the globe is PUBG Mobile. Due to its widespread popularity, both for playing (on an amateur or pro level through eSports tournaments) and online betting for PUBG, a sizable portion of players engage in cheating and undermine fair gameplay. Players have frequently voiced their complaints about hackers and cheaters in the game. Any PUBG Mobile player will tell you that dealing with hackers is one of their top concerns. Tencent Games is aware of this and works to boost player morale by periodically issuing a Ban Pan that lists the accounts it has barred from the game for utilizing hackers.
Additionally, the creators of PUBG Mobile are implementing a robust anti-cheat system that immediately bans cheaters who are found to be abusing the system in order to combat these hackers.
The Latest Ban Found More Than Half a Million Wrongful Profiles
PUBG Mobile’s regular reports let users know how many profiles have been blacklisted. Data from September 23–29 is displayed in the most recent Ban Pan document, PUBG Mobile Ban Pan 2.0: Level Infinite. A total of 502,789 PUBG Mobile profiles were banned during this seven-day period. In addition, Tencent banned 7,144 gadgets for hacking and cheating. This shows there are more cheats in PUBG Mobile now than there were a few months ago; 4,967 devices and 472,258 accounts were blocked from July 8 to July. So, there are still a lot of them.
As per the latest report, because they were employing auto-aim to shoot enemies, 21% of cheaters were banned. About 51% of people were forbidden from looking through the wall with X-ray vision to locate the adversary. In order to outrun their adversaries and gain an unfair edge, 4% of players were banned. For employing an altered version of area damage—killing other players with the use of increased bullet damage—20% of cheaters were subject to a ban; 4% of the hackers had their accounts banned because they had altered their characters using third-party plugins.
This data demonstrates that you might stumble upon a hacker in PUBG Mobile at any time, regardless of your rank. While banning hackers from PUBG Mobile is excellent, it still does not deal with the hacks themselves, which are the problem’s primary cause. As a result, Tencent has been working to eliminate all hacking-related content and has removed media from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
Can you protect yourself when someone hacks? You can, indeed. If your PUBG Mobile account has been compromised or stolen, we will tell you what to do. Helpful step-by-step instructions for recovering your account follow…
How Should You Proceed if Your PUBG Mobile Account Has Been Lost or Compromised?
Recover Access to the Social Network That Was Taken
Log in to the social media platform to which your account is connected. Hackers most likely took your password. Consequently, it must be changed as soon as feasible. The next step is to go to the social media settings and choose the “Log out of all devices” option.
Try to reset the social network’s password via phone or email if you have forgotten it. If, however, hackers have already changed them and you are unable to recover your password using this method, utilize the password reset form or contact touch with the social media support staff. You will be able to access your account once again using this. Be ready to get through all the verification if it is necessary to prove your ownership of the profile.
Log Out of the Game on All Devices
Log into PUBG Mobile once you have recovered access to the social media network. Open the “Settings” area now, then navigate through the available settings. On the “Exit” button, click.
Choose the option to log off all connected devices. Select the “OK” button in yellow. By doing this, you will prevent hackers from using your account to play more games.
Fix the Root Cause
The stuff we mentioned above is not all there is, though. You must address the issue that caused you to be hacked. There are various choices available. It is possible that you typed your login information on the scammer’s website. So use caution going forward and avoid using information from questionable sources. Maybe your password was too simple. Set strong passwords that include capital and lowercase letters, numbers, and various symbols.
Configure Two-Step Authentication
Implement two-step authentication for your email, social media, and gaming accounts, as well. You will then require further authentication through your phone in order to login into your account. Hackers will not be able to access your account even if they know your password since they require access to your smartphone in order to do so.
If your problem is more complicated and you are unable to regain access, get in touch with the PUBG Mobile support personnel. Clearly describe the problem. Do not forget to include your character’s numeric ID and in-game nickname as well.
