Ubisoft is smashing hackers by the thousands with 'QB,' and we may never find out exactly how it works

Flores - Rainbow Six Siege

Ubisoft is becoming quite the anti-cheat innovator as of late. In a Rainbow Six Siege community update published today, the studio went in-depth on the performance of its two newest anti-cheat initiatives: the widely-publicized "MouseTrap" tech that counters mouse and keyboard spoofing devices on consoles, and another mysterious feature known only as "QB" that apparently makes cheat development so difficult that some cheat developers are giving up.

A reported 78% drop in daily mouse and keyboard abusage on consoles is a success for the first-of-its-kind MouseTrap. We don't know exactly how many console players have used this technique, but the issue has been widely reported and complained about for years. Call of Duty is also cracking down on XIM cheaters.
