[QUOTE="phreaker47, post: 54745, member: 853"] Awesome, thanks But nooooo, not this drastic! I have two #1s... heh (That is, as soon as I get one of them back) Looking at the leaderboards on the PS3 shows you who are mobile users, or at least, I'm assuming when it says (Mobile) next to an entry that these are Android/IOS users. And it seems most if not all of the ridiculous scores (and definitely this azr07 character) are mobile. Consoles are more or less secure (at least when it comes to online games), but mobile definitely is not. I have personally seen apps on android that help you cheat in games. If you remember devices like Game Genie, etc, there are homebrew tools like this floating around. You could, for example, find the byte(s) in the game that change "Ball 1" to "Ball 2" and make it so you are always on ball one no matter how many you have lost. Or, you could find the scoring values of things and just jack them up. In short, I don't think they're hacking the leaderboards directly. They are hacking the game, then playing it with cheats enabled until they get the score they want. If that is the case, a permanent fix would be some kind of anti-tampering checksums built into the code. Hopefully it's easier than that, but that's what I'm thinking. [/QUOTE]
