The message reads as follows: “If anyone is able to concretely prove that Cobalt is a scam through reverse engineering, I will personally shut down Cobalt and provide $20k to the person who proved it… I’ve made this announcement multiple times and everyone who claimed it was a scam ignored/blocked me after asking for concrete evidence.”

This practice is not new to cheat providers. Many actually take advantage of immoral software to insert various malware into it.
It is not yet known whether this is true or not. But still, this is great news for the average Warzone player. Indeed, the more the trust between customers and hack providers decreases, the less cheating will be present in the game.
