It’s been horrid in BF4 since hacking groups circumvented the HWID algorithm in BF4 and starting using the free 1 week trial in an endless loop.  
Don’t even mention Fair Fight, they are as inept to deal with this as PunkBuster was back in BF1,2 at BF 3 PB is just useless and I don’t even know why it’s comes installed with BF4.

Is this limited to PC or are consoles at risk as well?

8lol welcome to online computer games, where hackers exist. Out of all online games ive ever played, guild wars 1 and 2 is the only one i can think of that didn’t have hackers. every online FPS ever, including on console, that ive played has hackers.

So if i boycotted every game that had hackers in it, id be playing Guild wars all day
