Sea of Thieves Already Plagued by Hackers
Hacking/cheating is nothing new to online gaming but usually it's only seen in shooters. For a game as easy going and lax as Sea of Thieves, we're not really sure why anyone would feel the need to hack it other than just to say they could. Some instances reported by players includes enemy pirates with an abundance of health as well as aimbots, loot increases, and player trackers. For a game as simple and carefree as this, it's just silly to go through all that trouble but here we are.
Players have taken to Reddit to vent their frustration with the rising number of cheaters, as well as uploads of videos providing proof of open-sea shenanigans. That's the one downfall to this game being cross-platform, as well. Usually, cheating (for the most part) affects the PC platform but because the Xbox One and PC game share its servers, the hacking is affecting everyone.
Thanks to Windows Central, we have a few images to show some of the player tracking hacks that players are using as seen below:
Though there are a few anti-cheat measures in place, Microsoft is currently working on upping the ante to protect players and keep the gameplay experience as organic as possible. Luckily, the cheating problem is nowhere near the levels of PUBG or Fortnite, though it is still just as unnecessary. Hopefully the team over at Rare ltd. and Microsoft can get the issue under control as much as they are able before it becomes too widespread.

So there's not even a real need for hacks then? Seems like it really was just so the hackers can say "we hacked it"

I feel like this is something Microsoft and Rare ltd will look hard into and try get it resolved :)

I couldn't even get this game to start properly. It always says game data is corrupt. I gave up after 3 reinstalls.

Epcot Why can't people just play a game without modding? I mean what's the point
Because people don't know how to play the game the right way
