Last Friday on the Official ESO Forums, Jessica Folsom from Zenimax announced that around 400 players had been banned for cheating. Apparently they had been caught using a third party cheat program to manipulate the game client.
This is far from the first time that there has been a "ban wave" in ESO when many people were detected doing the same violations at the same time. Previous notable examples include mass bans of endgame PvE players who exploited bugs to earn trial achievements, and PvP players who used Cheat Engine to gain superpowers such as flying and unlimited ultimate generation.
