Blizzard sues an 'Overwatch' cheat developer
Whether or not the software did that much financial damage, there's no question that Bossland is aware of what it's doing: in response to an earlier Blizzard crackdown, it swore that it would make Watchover harder to detect. You don't do that unless you know your product is "unlawful," Blizzard argues.
The real debate may be over jurisdiction. Bossland insists that the US has no authority over a company that supposedly has no connection to the country, and that Blizzard could easily have sued 5 years ago over previous cheat software. Blizzard would likely beg to differ, though -- Watchover is directly affecting an American game producer, and it's not clear that Bossland is doing anything to stop US sales.

SupervisorExoticWolfs About time Blizzard, or any game developer, takes action against cheating other than an update/patch. I am glad that they are doing this, should greatly improve gameplay for some. Personally I have not ran into a cheater on this game, but some people I know have. I hope we continue to see this happen in the future, would be great if all companies would do this. I am sure this will have a domino effect on the other cheat developers out there.
I totally agree, it's about time they do something.
But when one falls, another rises, it's more work and hastle to keep it clean, but it's more annoying and tiring to play with cheaters, it's bad on both sides of the fence

This is good to see that Overwatch is taken on cheaters for the game. This great game itself doesn't need to be abused but cheaters.
