HACKERS!!! Only PS3?

Seriously, are you sure you're not all just crap and making excuses? I've never seen anything like this happen :innocent:

 

Actually, its just started happening. Here is an article published today by IGN:

A recent security exploit discovered by a group of PlayStation 3 hackers has become a major issue for one of gaming's most popular shooters.

 

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 have become "exposed to exploits and hacks" due to the PS3 security breach. What's worse is that developer Infinity Ward is currently unable to provide a complete fix.

 

"Games rely on the security of the encryption on the platforms they're played on, therefore; updates to the game through patches will not resolve this problem completely, unless the security exploit itself is resolved on the platform," Community Manager Robert Bowling explained. "However, that doesn't mean we're not going to look into every option available to us."

 

"Regretfully, Call of Duty games are receiving the bulk of the hacker's attention, due to its high player counts and popularity. However, the number of legitimate players severely outweighs the bad apples."

 

"At this time, we do not have the ability to restore or adjust individual stats."

 

In the meantime, Bowling suggests concerned players should play exclusively with friends until Sony is able to resolve the issue. He added that Infinity Ward's future titles will unlikely utilize the platform's security.

 

"In the future we plan to adjust our approach to not rely solely on platform security and reduce the ability for this to happen in our games, as has already been displayed by the work Treyarch has done on Call of Duty: Black Ops to prevent similar measures."

Nah that's a load of crap, Infinity Ward just using that as an excuse, the MW hacks have been going on for far longer than the past couple of weeks.

 

Yeah but these hacks are now commonplace on the PS3 whereas before, they were mostly prevalent on PC and 360.

 

Welcome to the 360 Jazz. You will have another problem now (besides RROD)- actual decent players like myself who will obliterate you in a matter of seconds :D

Where have they gone on the ps3? I can't seem to find anyone in any server. I can't seem to access the forums on my iPhone for infinity, but have they all been banned. My friend at work said 60,000 odd got banned and he might be right, I'm playing it now without any hackers messing about :).Anyone on here know anything? If they have been banned I hope it's for life, deserves them right!!!!
