In an official post the team revealed that they decided that more changes needed to be made which led to the birth of Operation Cut Cord. As they rolled out an enhanced anti hack system, over 3.8 Million accounts were flagged and subsequently wiped. The team will also be working on new scripts and hacks and also looking to implement some fixes to prevent cheaters from making new accounts. They’ve also promised that they’ve made another technical breakthrough that could potentially lead another big  ban wave. All this will be part of phase 1 of Operation Cut Cord and the team will continue to work on and develop their anti-cheat as they try to keep their game clean.
