The first prison ruling was reported to the Harajin cheat developer and seller. Cracking on strong fraudulent people

The cheat tool development and seller of Harajin seems to have been arrested in China and sentenced to imprisonment. Local media Gameres Yu-资 reports.

Harajin is an open world ARPG developed and operated by China-based MIHOYO (HOYOVERSE). As an online element, up to four people can play in the same field. One player becomes a host, and the remaining three can participate in the host field by applying to the host. The capture of a dungeon called unexplored areas is also possible to cooperate. On the other hand, this work does not include PVP elements.

According to Gameres Yu-资 资, three suspects were arrested by the Shanghai Xu-Kui Police in June 2021, suspected of developing and selling the unauthorized plugin of Harajin last year. Recently, the Shanghai Ward Ward Ward Law has ruled three defendants to be sentenced to one year and six months to four years in prison. At the same time, the fines were fined from 10,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan (about 200,000 yen to 1 million yen). As a charges, it seems that criminal liability has been provided by providing a program that invades and controls the computer system.

One of the defendants developed a fraudulent program called KQ from October 2020 to May 2021. It sold more than 40,000 programs to use it, and is said to have earned about 2 million yuan (about 40 million yen). It is the first case that the Harajin cheat tool development and sellers will be sentenced to imprisonment.

In the overseas bulletin board Reddit, users have responded variously in this case. Some were surprised by the weight of the sentence based on the fact that Harajin had no elements such as his PvP and leader board (ranking). In response, another user states that the fraud program has caused the company's revenue.

On the other hand, in the above thread, there were also opinions calling for severe punishment for account takeover. In Harajin, the damage report of account takeover is often seen. On the official website, security measures for account takeover and customer support email addresses are posted. It is cautious to avoid using information and programs (such as cheat programs) that are not officially provided by Hoyoverse.

In Harajin, not only cheat tools, but also crackdown on leaks are being strengthened (related articles). The hammer will be relentlessly given to the fraudulent in the future.
