Major Victory: Leading Cheat Provider ‘Interwebz’ Ceases Operations
In a significant blow to cheaters within the multiplayer gaming community, Interwebz, a prominent provider of cheats for popular FPS games like Call of Duty and Counter-Strike 2, announced on its official website yesterday that it will be shutting down its services in response to a legal notice.
The website’s landing page now displays an ‘Important Announcement,’ stating that Interwebz has received a legal notice regarding their products and has no option but to terminate their existing services in compliance with the notice.
Although the statement does not explicitly identify the sender of the legal notice, speculation suggests that it may have originated from Activision themselves. A quick Google search reveals that Interwebz has been in operation since as early as 2009, offering “premium cheats for a variety of different games.”
The news was first reported by @charlieINTEL, who shared the complete statement on X; subsequently, fans expressed joy and relief at this ‘W’ (win) against hackers. Cheating remains a significant issue in multiplayer gaming, and if you’ve ever encountered a cheater in a Call of Duty match, you know how frustrating and infuriating the experience can be.
The shutdown of Interwebz marks a significant step in combating this persistent issue, bringing hope for fairer gameplay experiences in the future!
