Usually, Fortnite is known to be extraordinarily secure against cheaters, but these two seemed to have aggravated Epic Games a little too much, having to face legal action taken against them.

Two Fortnite Cheaters Facing Legal Consequences

Fortnite is very strict with their rules regarding cheaters, as they have recently proven by exposing two "big-time" cheaters online and making them apologize publicly.

In a tweet, Epic revealed that one person was caught selling and using cheats, while the other carried out Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks targeting Fortnite streamers.

“If you break the rules, there are consequences,” Epic stated. “Both have been ordered to stop these activities and are banned from playing Fortnite.”

Epic's basically saying: don't cheat, don’t sell cheats, and definitely don’t mess with other players’ games using stuff like DDoS attacks, or you're gonna get banned and possibly sued. They’re not messing around.

And they are absolutely right with that, cheating is weak, pathetic, and embarrassing... period.
