22/01/2021 Ubisoft tells The Loadout it is "dedicated to fighting against cheating"
Anyone who plays online multiplayer games knows that cheating is a morally corrupt pastime. Whatever game you play, cheaters are the bane of your games. It's no fun to play against someone who has an unfair advantage - especially in any of the biggest esports games - whether it's an aimbot, a wallhack, or anything else.
Therefore, most players will be happy when cheaters get their comeuppance. However, that usually takes the form of a ban from the game that they're cheating in. In this instance, the creators of a free Rainbow Six Siege cheat installed supplementary software on cheaters' PCs so that they could use the CPU to mine Bitcoin. If you've ever come up against a cheater while climbing the RS6 ranks, you may think that they've got what they deserved.
While the cheat's creators acknowledge that what they're doing "may not be legal," they say that they "need to make money somehow." They also point out that uninstalling the cheat will not restrict their access as they now have multiple backdoor entries through your BIOS. They maintain that what they're doing is moral, due to the fact that they will only mine Bitcoin at 23:00 EST when your computer is idle.
