There isn't much you can do. Providing information on how to do it is not, I believe, illegal. Only using that info.I couldn't say what you'd need to do, but I would imagine it depends on which jurisdiction the website is owned, hosted, and registered in. They are not necessarily the same.
Let me clarify. This isn't "Providing information on how to do it." These people have hacked various games and are selling the hacks they make.

Best solution
It's unlikely you can do anything about the web site. About all you can do is check the Terms of Service of each game you play. Check to see if it prohibits the use of modified game code. If so, then you can report those who appear to be using these hack to the various game moderators/tech support. It's up to the game's tech support/moderators to deal with these hackers.

I mean, it is illegal, right? Valve can ban people entirely from every one of their games for that kind of tampering-- wouldn't they have gotten sued by now or something if they weren't allowed?It's [generally] not illegal, it's purely a civil matter. Gamers who use cheats and hacks are usually in violation of the terms of service that accompany the game, which usually results in their service being revoked (banned). The author's of the cheats are usually careful to avoid including any copyrighted material in the cheat itself which absolves them of copyright infringement claims.
