A hacker is currently compromising Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 lobbies on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, rendering the game unplayable for some users. The individual, identified in player reports as 'C Isn't Sharp,' is actively targeting active sessions to disrupt progression and force players out of matches.
Reported In-Game Impact
According to player reports, the hacker is utilizing malicious scripts to manipulate account data during live sessions. Specific impacts reported by the community include:
- Unauthorized Prestige: Players are being forced to 'Prestige 16,' a level that does not exist within the game's standard 11-level progression system (10 normal levels and Master Prestige).
- Class Manipulation: Custom loadouts are being modified without player consent.
- Forced Disconnections: The incident typically concludes with the player being booted from the lobby, accompanied by an unfinished custom message reading, "You've."
The situation has prompted calls for intervention from the developer, with players currently seeking a resolution from the official @CallOfDuty support channels. As of now, no official fix has been announced to address these lobby exploits.
