Members of a Chinese cheating distribution ring were arrested by police in Kunshan, with the help of Tencent.

The operation, dubbed "Chicken Drumstick," has been described by Chinese police as "the biggest in the world." The group mainly dabbled in cheats for cell phone shooters, which surprisingly included some from Tencent's library.

The group was paid about $10,000 (about $72,000) a day. According to a translated Chinese news broadcast, the group was charging $10 a day to $200 a month for a subscription key to access the hack.

Police were tipped off about the operation a year ago and have since shut down 17 websites and arrested 10 resellers. Assets worth about $46 million (£33 million), including several luxury cars, were seized.

It has not been stated what role Tencent played in this investigation, but its involvement is not surprising given that the company has its fingers in many pies. Cheat makers seem to be popping up everywhere these days, and Activision and Bungie have been hunting down cheat services in recent months.

Games like "Call of Duty: Warzone" also have big problems with hackers, with a massive monthly wave of bans for dirty cheats; Warzone has a way to spot and report cheaters, but frustration is the norm.
