what do you expect them to do? You can't create an unhackable game (or program in general).

Fix the issues faster / IP ban the cheating players immediately, detect it faster / etc.

You can damn well do a better job than Blizzard has, lol. This isn't a case like maphacking, where it is hard to fully prevent because you can't verify any of the software you're running on top of hasn't been modified. It's a simple case where the game allows commands to execute that are absolutely not possible: users cannot select nukes through the normal UI and issue commands to them. Yet the game doesn't properly filter out such commands, due to bad programming. To make matters worse, Blizzard even tried to fix this issue in previous patches and just did a bad job of it, so there are still simple ways to perform such actions.

If I hack the game to simply increase my mineral count, if I try to spend those non-existent minerals, every other client in the game will disconnect me because I've de-synced from the commonly accepted game state. If I issue impossible commands to a nuke? They accept it and execute them. See how imminently fixable that is?
Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace?

Those are called edge cases. Now this game's engine was released in 1998. What do you think it is they envisioned to happen? For BW to live for 20+ years and someone giving commands to a nuke? Idk if you ever read about their scrambling at the end of development (like how path finding was basically created in a matter of days), but that definitely makes me doubt they have ever added an extensive testing framework and put in the time to think of all the weird shit that may happen.
Minerals hacks were a thing even in 1.16. Without some anti-cheat client you couldn't trust people to use some form of cheat since forever.

At this state it's the usual cat and mouse game. The hackers find a new thing, Blizzard has to fix it. But with SCR not getting a lot of resources it's sadly a slow process. It's to all our predicament, but the player base and continued profitability is probably too small for them to assign more resources to it.

Even then there are exploits and cheats. Games like League of Legends have had cheats over the years (even if rarely and they didn't last long, since Riot is definitely more on top of this kind of thing than Blizzard is with SCR). Diablo 3 has had many exploits and cheats (map hacks) over the years as well.
You cannot write perfect software. You cannot foresee every exploit, every programmer makes mistakes. You can only minimize the chances of it happening but spending considerable resources on it.

That's me in the video and thanks for spreading out to the community. I tried contacting Blizzard like Matt Sherman through twitter DM, he stopped reading my message. I have a hard time to reach out to him... I am starting to lose my hope about future SC:R. We've been having lobby UI issues for almost 2 months. I get that they have like 2, 3 people working for SC:R, they are busy with other stuff. But look at where this blizzard's update have been going to. What happened to our hope P1, P2, P3 priority list and PTR server?
Trying my best for ASL, ASTL

Hi, i agree with LML. Anyway the video is a must see, FBH editing and sense of humor were great. And great play from Scan who crushed the cheater.

Thank you for translating. Very amusing, though admittedly, disturbing that a player like this can be near the top of the ladder and not be banned. Even if not automatically, it would be nice if such blatant hacking would get the account banned.

gj Scan for beating the guy haha

Oh man...That's not good! I hope they do something soon to bring back hope, I fully agree with your sentiment on all of those issues =\
