A number of legitimate players got banned when they did nothing wrong.

Activision admits RICOCHET anti-cheat flaw banned legit Call of Duty players, raising concerns about the system's effectiveness.

Activision announced several updates to RICOCHET anti-cheat to better protect players from cheaters in Black Ops 6.

Activision says the goal for Black Ops 6 is to catch and remove cheaters within one hour of them being in their first match. From there, the publisher says it's monitoring the progress internally and building technology to drive this number even further down.

I made my peace with cheaters a long time ago. The more you play a multiplayer game, and the better you get at it, the more likely you are to run into losers who paid $30 to cheat at a videogame. Call of Duty's dedicated Ricochet anti-cheat team knows it can't stamp out cheaters entirely in an FPS that's constantly changing,

A game cheat seller says it was possible to target players and streamers for bans simply by putting the phrase ‘trigger bot’ into game chat.

Online shooters can get contentious, so it’s no surprise that they’re filled with cheaters and regular players whose behaviors get them banned. But some hackers were able to exploit Call of Duty‘s automated anti-cheating system to get innocent players banned,

Activision says it has "disabled a workaround" to a cheat detection system in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone that was incorrectly targeting some "legitimate" players. In a message posted to X/Twitter, Activision said it had now conducted "an examination of [its] systems" and "restored all accounts" that were impacted.
