How big is the Hacker player base?

[Pro (DayZ) 6]

Was just wondering.
Haven't played the DayZ Mod in almost 2 years now. I've quit the Standalone for a while as I've got bored of it, but am thinking about returning to the Mod. What is the hacker ratio? Is it still flooded like the Server were in 2012?

Would appreciate all replies.

Thanks.

Well, I have not been playing long. But thus far (3 weeks) I have had 2 or 3 hacker encounters. One kicked about 20 people off of the server at once. All of those encounters, however, were on a specific server (though it did claim to have "extra anti-hack"...). I have played on two servers since then for several hours and have not had an issue yet. The server I currently play on does a really good job of banning those that cheat and pose a hacking threat.

Of my entire time playing the mod, I think I've only experienced like 1 cheater, but then again, I started playing the mod when the SA was released. Not many cheaters.

Thanks for the replies guys, guess I'll go try out a few anti-hack Servers. :)

Its not about 'anti-hack' servers my fine fellow, its about finding servers with good people on them, admins AND players. The mod is infested with hackers, the secret is to try and find a server that is self-policing.

There's nowhere near the amount of hackers in the mod as there was in early-mid 2013.  We only run into hackers once every couple of weeks it seems, and we play on public hive servers.  Also, you really only see memory hacks these days like ESP or damage modifiers.  You don't really see the mass teleportations, players turning into cows, inventory hacks, or any of that crap these days.  That being said, I was on a server the other night where everyone got teleported...first time I've seen that in about 10 months or so.  Sometimes new hacks come out and you see a resurgence before the leaks get plugged up.
