The screenshot shows zero proof of him cheating, it's just a cluster of characters and his word on what happened, which obviously is biased because the guy wouldn't do baal with him.

Followbot is hardly a malicious hack. In fact, I wouldn't even truly label maphack as very malicious. The only true hack that is quite detrimental to the servers and is quite popular is godmode. It's also the only hack that is blatantly obvious to spot.
Even if he was using followbot, I find the person brute-forcing their way into a private game far more malicious than someone running all of his characters to the waypoints without having to do it manually.
I've had plenty of private games ruined, even ones with non-simplistic passwords like 1 or q, by people joining and harassing me and my friends while we're trying to down bosses first playthrough.
I know it doesn't prove anything, just wanted what the standpoint is nowadays. There was no "bruteforcing for several minutes", it took less than a minute to guess a one letter PW. The only reason I did it was because I thought the guy was busy switching between 4 different characters so he might be missing my whispers.
He didn't say anything when I entered the game so I thought he was AFK. I had just gotten to Act 5 and saw a Frozen River TP up so I figured I could run a few WP's.
It was obvious follow-botting because a) his three "support" characters were of the exact same level and b) the chars moving as if they were a caterpillar.
