    It didn’t though, those types of hacks have been around forever. It’s how people cheat on consoles without risking bans for modded lobbies and trainers.

    I want to be clear, the cheats are just as easy as they have always been to use, particularly if you throw money at them. These kernel modules and invasive anti-cheat mechanisms are far more effective at exfiltrating data and destroying privacy than they are at preventing aimbots.
