We've reached out to Matt for more information. We'll keep you posted!
Ubisoft developers have posted a new blog that lays out some of the plans the team has in mind to address cheating and exploits in The Division. New cheat detection methods have been implemented over the last several days resulting in a large ban and suspension wave. The minimum penalty is now two weeks for a first offense, a permanent ban on the second.
With regard to bug exploits, Ubisoft will be communicating more efficiently and often with the community regarding bugs and their potential exploit. Sanctions will be implemented for those who repeatedly abuse exploits and can include character rollbacks, suspensions and permanent bans.
As mentioned earlier, providing a high-quality experience is our priority. Fixing game bugs is one aspect of it, and we are improving our processes to address that. Dissuading players from impairing others’ gameplay by violating the rules of the game is another aspect. We also want to give you better visibility and transparency. We are fully committed to providing an enjoyable and fair environment for all our players, and will take all steps necessary to achieve this goal.
