According to Bungie, human error related to new cheat detection software caused incorrect bans to occur in Destiny 2.
Human error on a new cheat detection caused some incorrect bans to occur this week. We’ve turned the new detection off while we investigate the error and process the related unbans. All preexisting anti-cheat systems are still in effect.
More details to come in this week’s TWAB.

The Bungie Help account posted the news on Twitter on October 3. The tweet also stated that the new cheat detection has since been turned off. The software will remain off until the error is found and the related unbans go through. However, the preexisting anti-cheat measures are still in effect, ensuring cheaters will not run rampant in the meantime.
The tweet offers no further details of what the error was, what specifically caused it or if unjustly banned players will receive compensation. However, the tweet does promise that the upcoming This Week At Bungie will contain more details concerning the error and upcoming fixes.
