Hey!
Thank you to everyone who has shared clips or details of different hacks they have experienced, or witnessed, lately. We are investigating each instance and working through potential fixes, but don’t have any specific updates right now.
As soon as we have specifics to share on next steps, we’ll let you know. In the meantime, please continue to report this behavior so our teams can collect more information.
Thanks!
HOLY MOLY, and actual response from blizzard, wow. Everyone go play the lottery, its a miracle.
Thank you for the response.
As for reporting this behavior - Do you want users to use the in game reporting method or is there any other ways to bring visibility to this?
There are a number of accounts that have been exploiting for a long time that I have reported with the in game tool that are still active.
Most likely here since pic and vid examples can be provided.
Just don’t use names.
Edit: Or not. Lol
This is killing the game. Could you at least give us an idea of where this issue is on Blizzards priority list? Basically, a general idea of how much manpower is being directed at this problem right now.
I’m specifically asking about manpower, since it’s easy to say that it’s high priority, which can be vague when there isn’t anything to compare it to. High priority sounds good, but if there are 10 things that are “top priority” the player base still doesn’t get a feel for how much focus Blizzard is putting on this 1 issue.
I normally wouldn’t try to pick apart your post like this, since communication in general is always good, but Blizzard has known about the older hacks, map hack, then the addition of drop hacks, for quite a long time now.
It’s also a general concern since they seem to be rapidly expanding what they are able to compel your servers to do, and our accounts and possibly other info is also on your servers.
Thanks
could you also give us a list of your daily activities?
Ideally, the in-game reporting system. But I’ll monitor the forums every day (along with the CS team that regularly reviews), so feel free to also share anything you see in this thread.
I’d use the in-game reporting with as much detail as possible.
The problem is that hacks are ever evolving, and with AI, easier than ever to find exploits that can be utilized to bypass protections. There’s no one-size fits all solution, sadly.
I know that. That’s the whole reason why we’re seeing such a fast evolution of what these hacks can do. That just makes these vulnerabilities all the more problematic.
I don’t know when the drop hack first appeared on the ladder, but map hacking in general has been around forever.
I wasn’t looking for “team has x number of ppl on it” or anything. I know that unless there’s been a major shift at Blizzard, that that info isn’t going be released. It doesn’t change that Blizzard has been close to radio silent with the community for a long time, and that can hurt confidence between a community and a company.
I don’t think asking for a bit more clarity on where this is on their list of priorities is all that surprising. Even if you look at the drop hack, they’ve known about it for nearly as long as it’s been out in the wild, since people are definitely going to report losing a game by being kicked out of it. Despite that, we’re only now seeing talk about movement regarding these things.
It’s great that we’re getting some communication, but that doesn’t erase the fact that some of these have been left in the game for a very long time. Asking for a bit more clarity about how much of Blizzards attention this is getting, isn’t that unreasonable.
Also, they can always ignore the question. 
One thing that would be great to know (did I miss the news?) is if Childe Roland is now the community manager for SC2? That would be a big deal since we haven’t had one for a long time now.
Парни не сделали ничего плохого, просто добавили новых юнитов, им спасибо сказать надо, дальше больше
Who cares who is what and what the budget is?
Some Green and Blue writing people have acknowledged the issue and are working on it – that’s good.
Good luck fixing it, but please also be careful with your wording.
Not everyone who wins a game is a cheater now - as I was also accused on this forum.
Do you believe they exists now?
I am happy to see Blizzard taking an interest and hopefully fixing it.
Don’t forget about the IP-Range server blocking. I’m spending more than 70% of my time getting an error message that says " A player you have matched with has left the game or disconnected from the service. "
People are using their firewall and wireshark to block servers which under normal circumstances would be fine since the game would simply re-route you away from each other if you were both blocking each others servers.
However the issue at hand currently is that there are bots running on the server on all three servers in team games at high MMR 4k+ that have sniffed out all your static IPs, making it so no one can compete w/ the hacker who is blocking the servers.
ht tps://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/567332-server-blocker the method can be found here, and it has effectively killed SG/Brazil/AUS/TW/KR team games at a high level
Thanks!
edit: in-game reporting doesn’t work since the match never starts
Why are you quoting my posts from other threads here?
What I believe is that you’re following me across forums and now trolling me.
Please STOP doing this.
I’ve flagged this as trolling and hope the moderation team will take action and delete your post for calling me out like this.
About this Recent Hacks thread : Good luck fixing it ! - this is what I said !
Most accounts that have posted about having this problem either later came back saying it seemed fixed, or later proved themselves to be ProTech.
So, from past analysis, conclusion: Hi ProTech! This is something on your end, not Blizzard’s.
Presumably, because they are annoyed at you for having been so vehement in the past about how there was not a hacking problem, but here you are with
idk though; it seems overly petty if that’s the case. But Oh Well. That’s my best guess, that their aim is to remind you of how obstinate you had been but now have been proven wrong because they don’t like you? Not completely sure.
The rest though, um, first, you’re specifically supposed to not mention when you use flags.
Spare yourself that stupid comment. Blizz is actually doing something. Maybe next after hackers they will take care of those obnoxious smurfs.
I really dont know what was happening in my recent match today. I was playing regular ladder 3v3 and two barcode allies in my team had APM 3000+. The most weird moment was when the opponent team was able to somehow take control of my game. The whole episode was saved to the reply. During the replay I was able to see continuous pings that both of my allies were doing they were writing something (I guess in russian language) in the minimap like “AbOYC”…or something like that. That was repeating the whole 14 min match. Even thou we were kind of losing but still the match ended suddenly and we won?! Have you experienced something like that?
I have got the replay file saved for inspection if needed.
thats the replay hack and the mineral hack.
look up harstem on youtube if you dont know who that is and he has 2 vids out on what is going on, if you would like to see it from someone elses perspective.
ban this guy too. !!!
