Although the hacking of Call of Duty is not new, the events that happened in Call of Duty: World War II are unprecedented.It has surpassed ordinary in-game cheating and evolved into such a serious security threat that it forced Activision to take the game offline.

Activision announced on July 5 that it would stop the online service of the "Call of Duty: World War II" PC (Microsoft Store) and investigate the reported issues.Previously, the Microsoft Store version of the game received reports from some users that it had suffered a remote code execution (RCE) cyber attack.

The game will be added to the Xbox/PC Game Pass game library on June 30.However, there have been multiple reports of cyberattacks exploiting RCE vulnerabilities for the Microsoft Store PC version.Anchor Wrioh reported that he encountered an RCE attack while playing the game live.It can be seen from the live broadcast video where there is a problem that the game suddenly stutters and freezes, and the command prompt window is opened, and the Notepad program is started.These operations were not done by Wrioh himself and seemed to be the result of the attacker's remote control.

The text displayed in Notepad is: "Marc E Mayer just RCEd your ass please contact Mitchell Silberberg and Knupp LLP" (Marc E Mayer just RCE attacked your computer, please contact Mitchell Silberberg and Knupp Legal Office).The lawyer Marc E Mayer mentioned in the article has filed lawsuits against cheating software makers on behalf of companies such as Ubisoft in the United States and has relevant experience.Of course, it was obvious that the attacker used the attorney's name in this attack.

Similar cases have also been confirmed, indicating that the attack targeted multiple users.Some reports indicate that attackers not only open notepad files that display similar text, but also open pornographic websites without authorization.

In this case, Activision announced through the official social media account of the Call of Duty series that it will temporarily suspend the online service of "CoD: WWII".Although the RCE attack was not specifically mentioned in the statement, it indicates that an investigation is being conducted on the reported issues.As of the time of writing, the investigation appears to be still in progress.
