It's certainly bizarre, and the first time we've seen this sort of disclosure in what's essentially a development update posted to the PUBG Steam community. No doubt, it's an issue that the developers take very seriously, with the update closing with the following statement.

Each game of PUBG sees up to 100 users trying to beat already incredible odds. We understand that even one person playing unfairly can severely impact the fun of so many people, and thus we need to maintain a much higher level of security than other games.
