Hackers succeed the anti-cheatmaatregelen in the pc version of Battlefield 3, to deceive and so other players banned. Two organisations behind anti-cheatsoftware in the game pointing to each other as the culprit.
In the past week have players of Battlefield 3 on the pc complained that they are falsely identified as cheaters, and therefore a ban gained. A group of hackers has claimed responsibility, writes Kotaku. The hackers focus on servers that are protected with PunkBuster and GGC-stream.
Where PunkBuster cheatsoftware and other suspicious behavior it detects, collects, and distributes GGC-Stream to these findings. In this way, we attempted cheaters to fend off on all game servers that use GGC. The identification of players is done on the basis of the unique PunkBuster number that each player is assigned. The hackers seem to be able to cheat under the PunkBuster guid of the other players, making it falsely identified as cheaters and on the black list of GGC-Stream.
In a reaction opposite to Kotaku gives PunkBuster developer Even Balance the debt to GGC-Stream to accept the new members who bans can pass on. The volunteers of GGC-stream point, however, to Equally Balance, that has been on the height of a hole in the security of PunkBuster allowing hackers may pose as someone else. GGC says its best to do false bans to undo. Daniel Matros, community manager of Battlefield 3 developer DICE, recommends that players currently have to not play on servers that are GGC, until the situation is resolved.
