Activision took down Call of Duty game after PC players hacked, says source


Games giant Activision took down "Call of Duty: WWII" due to hackers exploiting a flaw in a specific PC version of the game, which led to several players

A person with knowledge of Activision’s response told TechCrunch that the company took the game offline because of the hacks and while it works to patch the issue. “The game is not safe to play on PC right now, there’s an RCE exploit,” a player wrote on Reddit last week, referring to a type of bug known as remote code execution, which allows hackers the ability to plant malware capable of essentially taking control of a victim’s device.
