Genshin Impact players on the Chinese server are grappling with a concerning issue involving hackers who are reportedly using third-party software to sabotage other players’ progress, essentially “bricking” their accounts. While developer miHoYo has not officially acknowledged this problem yet, it has garnered attention through social media and player reports.
The malicious players are exploiting vulnerabilities in the game to delete crucial items, such as elemental totems, preventing affected players from making any progress. Even if they uninstall and reinstall the game, their accounts remain compromised.
