Hackers are...annoying to say the least, what can I do about this?

I started recording my games because my first match of the night was against a team of people who did all 5 gens in less than 1 minute and insta opened the exit games.

I believe I played against them one more time in Ormond, this time I just left the game, I noticed there was hacking because I could hear gen repair noises all around me(which at first i thought was just a bug), then I couldn't hook a survivor I downed. During endgame chat, the person, or persons hacking started typing racial slurs and somehow they were using my username to do it. Luckily I have that recorded, so if I get banned, I will be able to show that I didn't type any of it.

Obviously, because the hacker was using my username to type his slurs, I have no idea who they were, so I couldn't report them in game... So is that it? Is there nothing I can do about this? I can only defend myself if I get banned, but otherwise these people are just gonna continue doing their thing?

    Keep your recordings just in case.

    And sadly there is nothing you can do, I still see the same hacker I found about 7-8 months ago, they haven't been banned yet.

    So yes, there is nothing you can do other than have evidence that you didn't do anything bad.

    That's a sad sad state of affairs I guess... But at least I got proof that I didn't do anything. Kinda crazy how these people can just use your username to say this stuff that can get you permanently banned.
