Rumor: Call Of Duty Cheaters’ Info/Crypto Stolen By Hackers
29.03.2024 - 10:53 / gameranx.com
Activision, in a strange turn, has now been forced to work with cheat providers for Call of Duty. The reasons, however, are justified and quite serious. Hackers are attacking Call of Duty players.
VX Underground was the first to spread the word on Twitter:
“Over the past couple of days we have become aware of malware targeting gamers! More specifically, a currently unidentified Threat Actor is utilizing an infostealer to target individuals who cheat (Pay-to-Cheat) in video games.
A Call of Duty cheat provider (PhantomOverlay) was alerted of fraudulent activity when user accounts began making unauthorized purchases. The cheat provider was the first to notice the fraudulent activity and reached out to the suspected victim. Since the initial victim was identified, more and more victims have been identified.
The scope of the impact is so large, and in a bizarre twist of fate, Activision Blizzard is coordinating with cheat providers to aid users impacted by the massive infostealer campaign.
Currently there is a presumed impact of:
– 3,662,627 Battlenet accounts compromised
– 561,183 Activision accounts compromised
– 117,366 Elite PVPers accounts compromised
– 572,831 UnknownCheats accounts compromised
– 1,365 PhantomOverlay accounts compromised
When Elite PVPers was approached by PhantomOverlay administrative staff about the compromised accounts, Elite PVPers confirmed they have identified 40,000+ valid user accounts compromised. These are seemingly freshly stolen credentials and are not present from previous publicly available credential dumps. However, due to the size of the data we have not been able to thoroughly review the data for duplicates.
Additionally, impacted users have begun reporting being victims of crypto-draining – their Electrum BTC wallets have been drained. We do not have any information on the amount of money stolen.
It should be noted that some of these accounts are also not cheaters. Some users impacted utilized gaming software for latency improvement (?), VPNs, and Controller Boosting software
(we don’t know what this means)”
For their part, Activision shared this message, via CharlieIntel, also on Twitter:
“There have been claims that some player credentials across the broader industry could be compromised from malware from downloading or using unauthorized software. Activision Blizzard servers remain secure and uncompromised. Our priority is always player account security. If players believe they may have clicked on a suspicious link or if they want to ensure their account is protected, they can change their password and follow recommended best practices here such as adding two factor authentication.”
Now, the assessment of presumed impact on Call of Duty user information does not

Rumor: Popular Call of Duty: Warzone Feature Is Coming to Fortnite Creative
Players will be able to enable proximity chat in Fortnite's Creative game mode soon. In the early days, Fortnite was exclusively a PvE game through Save the World, though things wouldn't really take off until the Battle Royale game mode arrived a few months later. As the game's popularity increased, Epic Games decided to explore more options with Fortnite. The Playground game mode was a hit, as it allowed fans to create their matches with a small group of friends and customize certain features, such as fall damage and friendly fire, in order to have fun on Athena island, the OG Fortnite map.
