I think for PC, there is an actual way to have a fully functional private server. Can't say about the consoles...never heard of a way for consoles. From what I understand it's the same program they use in GTA Online. Apparently it works for RDR Online as well.

You'll have to look in to it, but I have heard that there actually is a way to have a private server.

Yeah, even if I were the type to name and shame, it would be pointless anyway because Hackers will take over an account and use that character to run a muck...this usually results in innocent players being banned. And since Rockstar has a *Once banned there is no overturning it* policy, that would be even worse of me to name and shame them. That was the first thing I did. I recorded the footage in order to have evidence to report with and sent it in to them. Sadly that is one out of 100. Hackers are getting pretty bad. I got hit twice in 2 days. Unfortunately this is not always going to work. Sometimes you have to switch sessions a couple of times. For example, last night as soon as I got hit by the third Hacker, I instantly logged out and logged back in to join a different session. Once I joined the new session, none of the contacts were showing up. I couldn't even get a Bounty from the bounty board. At that point I didn't feel like sitting around and waiting for another reload of the game and I just logged out for the night. But yeah, I just wanted to give people a warning and give them a heads up...the best ever advice you can give is simply this. If you are targeted by a Hacker, best thing to do is instantly log out and join a new session....and then hope that your new session is not also being plagued by hackers, hehe.

I have posted this in other Red Dead websites, so wanted to spread the word here as well. Beware, Hackers are at it again on PC version. I wish Rockstar Games had a forum, I would like to let them know that they will not get a single penny from me for their gold until they fix this issue. They should have known better than to copy and paste GTA Online over to this after the hackfest they had there. Now RDR2 Online is facing the same issues. These hackers are going to cost them money. If I am one who will boycott paying them a dime for their cash shop (which I never really particularly cared for to begin with, but I bought some gold for outfits to unlock) over these hackers and them allowing the hackers to infiltrate their game, then I am sure others feel the same way. Just be careful. Ignoring the hackers and saying nothing to them changes nothing. They will not stop until you log off. Nothing you do is what instigates this. I did not PvP anyone, I did not grief anyone...they simply pick you as a target and do anything and everything they can to disrupt your game play. I even tried just standing there and pretending I went afk hoping they would pick someone else...that didn't work. After about ten minutes of this, I finally started recording the footage, at which point the hacker decided to grab other players and focus them on me. I believe one of the players thought that I was the one doing it (my character was stuck, jerking around, I'm sure it didn't look good from their perspective) and she killed me. The other players would run away (While I am still stuck) and the hacker would continuously teleport them back to me time and time again. After a while I noticed that the players were turning me in as I got notifications for it, it also affected my rep. I also noticed they too were dying and it was showing that I was the one killing them, even though I was nowhere near them. Finally my screen went black and all I could see was my map, notifications and options menu. One of them challenged me to a duel of sorts, so after I had enough footage I finally logged out. Not once did I catch the hacker's name because every time I died, it either showed my name, or an "enemy" name. Hopefully that episode doesn't get me banned, because I am sure some of those players thought that it was me and reported me. I'll find out soon enough I guess. Beware, gamers. Hackers are at it again. Footage below. https://youtu.be/K65yuhuEPjo
