The Central Java Regional Police, together with MOONTON Games and external counsel SKC Law, has successfully dismantled a major cheat supply chain targeting Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB).

The enforcement action targeted the operators behind "Senpai Mod" and its upstream software supplier "NUI Mod", disrupting both the distribution and production layers of cheat software used to compromise competitive gameplay. 

The successful operation marks a rare disruption across both the distribution and production layers of cheat software and demonstrates the importance of industry collaboration with law enforcement authorities in protecting the integrity of online gaming ecosystems. 

The investigation began following reports from the MLBB player community, which alerted MOONTON Games to suspicious cheating activity affecting ranked matches. Acting on these reports, the developer began working with authorities on technical monitoring and intelligence collection in September 2023 to trace the networks responsible for developing and distributing the cheat software. 

The investigation revealed that "Senpai Mod" operated as both a distributor and reseller of cheat software primarily designed for ranked gameplay in MLBB. These cheats enabled unfair advantages such as map hacks, drone-style vision, and other exploitative functions, severely undermining match integrity and player experience. 

Based on internal monitoring over the past year, several thousand MLBB accounts have been penalised for the use of Senpai Mod-related cheats, reflecting ongoing enforcement against unfair gameplay practices. 

MOONTON Games escalated the investigation and collaborated closely with the Central Java Regional Police's Directorate of Cyber Crimes, which provided critical support in identifying the individuals involved and advancing the enforcement process. 

The coordinated effort led to the successful completion of legal enforcement actions against the operators, who have now formally undertaken to:

Immediately cease all development, sale, and distribution of cheat software

Permanently shut down all related websites and social media accounts 

The case also uncovered that while the cheat software was primarily marketed to players in Indonesia, its reach extended across Southeast Asia, with transaction records suggesting a potential global customer base. 

MOONTON Games expressed its appreciation for the strong support provided by the Central Java Regional Police, whose involvement was instrumental in ensuring that the case was resolved through proper legal channels. 

The company remains committed to maintaining a safe and fair competitive environment for players worldwide. The company will continue strengthening both its technical anti-cheat systems and legal enforcement efforts to combat misconduct that threatens the integrity of online competition. 

Fair play is non-negotiable—and MOONTON Games will continue to defend it together with players and law enforcement authorities.
