While there was some amount of item hacking going on during the days of D2C, it wasn't until after the release of the expansion (D2X) in June 2001 that hacked items began to really proliferate. Blizzard's response to this, for about the first year, was to say nothing publicly, while behind the scenes they tried to close the loopholes and patch the bugs that were allowing the hacked items to be created.
This response seemed woefully inadequate to most players, and after many months of constant angry fan feedback and a few fiery editorials, the Blizzard hacks team started to get serious about deleting hacked items in mid-2002. This page collects news posts about those anti-cheating efforts, all rescued from the old Diabloii.net Warnings Archives.
Blizzard's anti-cheating efforts have improved a great deal in the years since then, primarily since they've fixed most of the bugs in the game that allowed these items to be created in the first place, but also since they've grown more serious about directly combating player cheating, with account bans and character deletions.
Blizzard's Anti-Cheating Actions[edit]Feb 22, 2002[edit]
Blizzard may at last be enforcing their own rules, and doing something to try and stop cheating. They say they've deleted a number of accounts for hacking: Vocal rider vst 3 free download free.
I've not heard from anyone who got an account deleted, or even who had a friend who did, while we get a dozen mails a day from people pissed or confused over their duped or non-duped items vanishing. So either Blizzard deleted very few accounts, or the people who were deleted are saying quiet about it.
Since it's just accounts, whether or not this makes any difference is unknown. Most big time hackers/dupers have dozens of accounts with mules full of dupes, hacked ex-runewords, etc, so losing one or two accounts can't be much of a big deal to them. And maybe it'll just spur them to cheat more, to recover their losses.
In my opinion, Blizzard needs to ban CD-keys, as well as deleting accounts, and they need to post the names of them publicly, or at least list how many were banned, ideally in a scrolling list on the right side of the Battle.net chat interface. If cheaters start seeing twenty or fifty accounts/cd-keys banned every day, they'll perhaps start to get the message that cheating is serious, and that it could happen to them. I doubt a message on Blizzard's Bnet Status Forum will really have much of an effect on people who have been cheating without any punishment for months and months. But time will tell.

The following is a mail you get from Blizzard if you mail asking about hacks. We've received it several times when forwarding mails to [email protected], most recently today.
A few points. SoJs aren't being deleted, we've heard from dozens of players who have mules full of them and say none are vanishing. You can read more along these lines in a FanSite interview on hacks right here. Bill Roper answers 10 questions, but sadly none of them are anything new, just more of the same PR-style replies.

We received this screenshot Dr. Bond; it was taken in the Blizzard Technical Support Channel. (He blurred his char's name to avoid being pestered.)
AlenL is a real Bliz tech support guy, and this is a legit screenshot. We asked Blizzard PR about it, and were told.
We try and have faith, but being as Blizzard has been saying this exact same thing about duping since about 1998, and the dupers/hackers have owned the realms for months, it's hard to remain optimistic. We've been told of secret plans for improvements for so long.. This time they really mean it though!
In all seriousness, we have heard some cool plans for (secret) anti-cheating measures being added soon, possibly with v1.10. And no, we can't say what they are.

We received the following email this afternoon:

A couple of hours later Blizzard posted the following:
So it appears Dimas told no lies. The corrupted/hacked/bugged items are what make the infinite skills hack possible, so if they all vanish, then so should that hack. With any luck.

Players are reporting odd vanishing items. Some bugged gone, some not. Possibly Blizzard has to delete each type of bugged item individually, and can't just nail them all instantly. A report from Antonio:

In Diablo II, gamers can play ladder or non-ladder. What is a ladder in Diablo II, I hear you ask? If you’re playing on a ladder you’re on a specific version of the game, where everyone participating is ranked. The rules playing within a ladder are slightly different so if you’re looking to explore more of Diablo II then you should try playing ladder. Consider your choice between ladder and non-ladder carefully since you cannot swap between the two. If you decide to go for a ladder character, it will remain on ladder until there is a ladder reset. If you go for a non-ladder character, then the decision is permanent.
What are the pros of playing ladder?
Like all difficult decisions, there are benefits to playing ladder and non-ladder. Here are some of the reasons you should play on a Diablo II ladder.
What are the pros of playing non-ladder?
Some of the factors of ladder can also be seen as a negative. These are the reasons why you should play non-ladder Diablo II.
