Earlier today, Activision confirmed that it will be integrating a new anti-cheat with its latest Call of Duty titles. This would be an anti-cheat that would work directly with the system kernel – considered one of the most difficult to bypass.

However, it seems that it did not take long to announce this. This is because, a few hours after Activision confirmed its new anti-fraud “RICOCHET”, its drivers were already trading on the forums that scammers use in the market.

According to the Twitter account,Anti-fraud Police DepartmentRICOCHET drivers are already circulating on these forums, although their official reveal should only take place on November 5th, when the new Call of Duty: Vanguard will also be revealed.

Images shared about the drivers suggest Activision will be signing them on September 30th, but it appears that somehow it has leaked to the public. The fact that it is analyzed by cheat creators indicates that it is possible for these methods to bypass the system even before the game is officially released.

Although anti-fraud systems that use the system kernel to further integrate with it are somewhat controversial, due to privacy issues, they have become very popular to ensure the greatest security against these programs.
