Accessing your bank account or any personal websites you browse daily, even while a supported game is in use, are not a part of what the ESEA Client is monitoring. The ESEA Client only monitors activities that take place in and around our supported games. We understand these extra security layers might make some uneasy, but it is our firm belief this is a necessary step to protect our customers who seek the fairest environment for online Counter-Strike game play.īelow are some of the more common questions we see about our anti-cheat.Īre you looking at my browsing history and bank information? We have worked closely with professional counsel to create transparent disclosures about the invasive nature of the Client and define clear and appropriate internal security protocols to protect our users from unauthorized access of Client and user data. After much deliberation and under the careful guidance of legal, security, and privacy experts, the ESEA Client takes a more active and aggressive approach, similar to the publicly available anti-virus software, to monitoring the activities around Counter-Strike in order to combat these efforts. It's customary at live tournaments to not even allow players to connect thumb drives or other USB enabled devices out of fear that an illegal cheat could be used. The latest generation of cheats, which are designed similarly to malware, gain an advantage when loading before anti-cheat tools. In the past there have been multiple instances of high profile players being caught cheating online and based on the data we have analyzed over several months, it's our strong belief that there continue to be factions of players using cheats to gain an unfair competitive advantage. The cheat community has grown increasingly sophisticated with their techniques to circumvent VAC, ESEA, and other anti-cheats.
