Call of Duty Cheat Provider Has Shut Down

Call of Duty cheat provider Interwebz has announced it's ceasing operations after receiving a legal notice from an unnamed party. The most likely source of the notice is Call of Duty publisher Activision.
Cheating has been a prevalent issue in Call of Duty ever since the series returned to PC popularity in 2020 with the launch of Warzone. Despite Activision's Ricochet Anti-Cheat system, Call of Duty cheaters have often gone unbanned for extended periods of time. This is partly thanks to the growing sophistication of these exploits, which was partially unveiled when a YouTuber recently gained access to one of the scene's most exclusive cheating groups. The content creator also revealed that six of the top 10 MW3 Ranked players were members of this group. Despite the battle against cheaters usually seeming like an uphill battle, real players can now enjoy a small victory.
Call of Duty news Twitter account charlieINTEL posted a message from cheat provider Interwebz, explaining that it has decided to cease all operations after receiving a legal notice regarding its services. History suggests that Activision can be thanked for this, as the publisher has been known to send cease-and-desist notices to cheat providers in the past. Of course, shutting down one major cheat provider is like plugging a single hole in a flooding ship, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. It seems that Call of Duty's Ricochet Anti-Cheat will need to receive major upgrades if Activision wishes to truly combat cheating.
In February, Activision confirmed that it's continuing to work on improvements to Ricochet. However, large segments of the Call of Duty community are understandably running short on patience. Cheaters have become prevalent in the upper echelons of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone's Ranked modes, as well as regular public matches.
To counter Ricochet, which is presumably quite sophisticated thanks to Activision's massive resource pool, cheat developers use creative methods like disabling their software in the same millisecond that Ricochet scans a user's UI. Suspected users have their screens screenshotted throughout a match, but these cheats can apparently detect when this is about to take place.
Many fans are hoping for Activision to continue pursuing cheat providers as time goes on. Ricochet's main weakness is that it's not a kernel-level system like Easy Anti Cheat or Riot Vanguard. However, a kernel-level anti-cheat comes with its own downsides, such as users claiming that it's spyware due to its invasiveness.
Released in November of 2023, Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023) continues Captain Price's story from the 2019 and 2022 games.
