How do I stop hackers and cheats?

A: Yes, sadly PT is pretty insecure. The best you can usually do is detect them and then automatically disconnect them, and optionally block their IP or account from your server.

There are some good guides and releases here to help, but this subject is constantly evolving. If you can't find information on the particular exploit you are experiencing, please share what you are seeing with the other Devs and Admins. We will all want to clamp down on new exploits as soon as possible.
