Used CPU carries anti-cheat ban, locks out new owner

Reports are circulating that a used processor sold second-hand came with an inherited anti-cheat ban: the hardware ID was blacklisted after a previous owner cheated in Riot's Valorant, so the buyer found themselves locked out of the game despite never cheating. The case, linked to Riot's Vanguard anti-cheat system, is drawing criticism of hardware-level bans that punish innocent second-hand buyers.
Why now: Hardware ID bans from anti-cheat systems are controversial, and this case shows an innocent buyer being punished for someone else's cheating.
