If I was a hacker, I would be spending most of my effort attacking anticheats. Installing spyware on people's computer to prevent cheating is wrong. They should be doing what devs did before anticheat was invented - server side moderation.

I dunno about non-driver anti-cheats like EAC but Genshin Impact's kernel-level anti-cheat has been used to aid ransomware. Driver-level anti-cheat is certainly malware, that has been settled since Sony-BMG.

Sony-BMG.

Jeez that's a blast from the past. I remember the absolute shock and horror going around the internet when that story broke then it instantly being exploited by some clever dickhead for malware which I'm sure caused someone in Sony to have a cardiac arrest.
