They already has a Game Security Team that works round the clock to identify and remove cheaper. The first line of defense against cheaters involves systems that scan for modified game data or suspect software. On the other hand, the second line of defense looks for "impossible events" in the game.
In cases where the team feels someone is cheating but cannot prove it, In-game observation is employed. In the near future, Tencent is planning to take a few more steps to ahead of cheaters. It is looking at additional ways to communicate with players, so they can help report hackers.
