Fallout 76 Hackers Are Now Able To Loot Players at 200 Meters - MMORPG.com
Remember how hackers and modders added NPCs to Fallout 76 before Bethesda could do so with their delayed Wastelanders update? Yeah. They're back.

Even way way back during my days playing UT99 there were tons of cheaters,i don't get their lack of mental aptitude,your NOT doing anything except pressing the trigger button,you earn nothing by cheating and there is no satisfaction knowing you did not achieve anything yourself.
At that same time era,Counterstrike was a joke,for the sake of it,i found about 8 full length pages of hacks for that game,yet is was and still is popular,i figure popularity reigns around cheating.
Cheat hacks were the reason i stopped enjoying COD games and no longer buy or play them.So i am sifting through Steam see a couple games i might like to try and in the reviews/comments,mention of tons of cheating liek warping around a map and the devs ban anyone who talks about it claiming it raises attention to the cheat,well FIX the damn thing instead of pointing fingers.
Geesh even when Atlas was a booming game in the beginning,tons of cheating turned people right off,spend MANY hours building stuff only to see cheats ruin it all.
This is why i detest pvp now a days,it has no place in gaming because it ALWAYS encourages cheats...ALWAYS !!.Sure gamer's are so sad there are tons cheating even in pve,however it doesn't affect me for the most part but yes game economies can be broken by cheats.
Worst part is devs do not care,heck they won't lift a finger until tons of people complain or threaten to quit the game.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

And it just works
But what happened since 76 is a monstrosity that is hard to understand it feels like they are doing it on purpose.
As far as the easy to hack design of the game was expected, their singleplayer titles are as they are, the persistent multiplayer go should be expected while hoping they didn't, they indeed had a client-sided design that obviously backfired immensely with the exploitation it opens. It's literally Online game 101 I baffles me how did this decisions got the greenlight --'

1 year ago! This stuff was wide open how ridiculously designed this was for multiplayer, It beyond comprehension one year later and the issues that were raised up finally get seriously exploited, the 2 biggest hits just 1 week apart.
The ending phrase of number 4) of that print, just see what happened last week. Everyone knew but Bethesda, well they surely knew when IGN did a whole article raising serious concerns on vulnerabilities they said were untrue... but low-effort money is best business --'

IGN did an article exposing the same massive weaknesses on exploits, they respond saying they were "untrue".
They had 1 year to work on fixing major exploitation vulnerabilities that were openly raised back then, and bam, the exploits happen, and then after another disaster for the game's playerbase is when they do a fix, seriously no excuse, this company is on a whole other level just no care at all
And two weeks later the train driver send out a statement saying he's looking into isolated reports of some irregular activity.
Finding Security flaws and fixing them is no small feat, and it takes time. Heck back in the Day WoW had a hack program out there that allowed people to enter God Mode. Botters still exist in every MMO, Hackers still pervade every FPS.
Lets be real, you blame the criminal not the victim. Well logical people with a modicum of respect and dignity do. The modern community that HAS to criticize everything would rather wstch their house burn.
Man Locusts everywhere these days.

And since this is about stuff being stolen that cost people real life money, these people have every right to complain imho.

Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

Second, most of the people I see strongly complaining aren't actually playing the game nor are there hundreds or even dozens of players screaming they've actually been hacked. (Yet)
Third, apparently most of these hacks (including this most recent) are confined to the PC version...I'm told they can't and don't often occur on the console version which I confess at this point is making those platforms more attractive.

Using the same Engine and Tools they used to make the most moddable game in existence (Fallout 4), it shouldn’t come as a shock for anyone...except for Bethesda.
It’s ok for a single player game, obviously not for a multiplayer.
They created this game with their arse, as a quick way to make money.
