Overview
- Streamers and players have posted videos showing an account called “C Isn’t Sharp” resetting stats, deranking players, kicking people from lobbies, and in some reports bricking PS5 accounts.
- Multiple outlets and community posts published these reports on Thursday and linked the incidents to clips from high-profile streamers who were targeted live.
- Players say copycat accounts are using the same exploit, which appears to revive hacking methods that made older Black Ops 2 servers unstable on legacy platforms.
- The community is urging Activision, Treyarch, and port developer Iron Galaxy to investigate and patch the vulnerability while advising gamers to leave lobbies and close the game if they spot the name.
- If left unaddressed the attacks could keep players away from Black Ops 2 multiplayer and prompt stronger enforcement or technical fixes from the publisher, as happened with past Call of Duty hacking incidents.
