The lengths cheaters will go to...
nash--housewares noticed an article at Wired about an increase in the use of hacker techniques in Halo 3 matchmaking. It's definitely not common... but apparently, some people are turning to approaches like Distributed Denial of Service attacks in order to win Halo 3 matches. (The article suggests that you can lease a 'zombie' (a PC controlled by virus-installed software) for $2 per unit - and with 40-60 of these units, you can destroy your opponent's chance to play. Are there really that many people willing to spend $100 to win a game of Halo 3? Really?)
