Overview

• On July 14, Epic filed lawsuits and imposed lifetime bans on Mirrored for selling and using cheats and on Zebsi for DDoS attacks against Fortnite streamers.
• Both offenders were ordered to post public apology videos on YouTube and remove related content from their social media channels.
• This action follows a June federal ruling that mandated cheater Sebastian Araujo to pay $175,000—donated to charity—and upheld his lifetime ban.
• Epic’s revised policy now hands lifetime bans for severe first-time violations and one-year suspensions for lesser infractions.
• By blending lawsuits, fines, bans and public accountability, Epic aims to uphold competitive integrity and deter future wrongdoing in Fortnite.
