Activision Pulls Call of Duty: WWII From Microsoft Store Due to Hacking Exploit

Activision has removed the Microsoft Store version of Call of Duty: WWII (also available on Game Pass) due to a hacking exploit. A vulnerability allowed remote code execution (RCE), enabling hackers to take control of players' PCs. While other versions of the game have patched the vulnerability, the Microsoft Store and Game Pass versions, differing slightly, remained susceptible. This isn't Activision's first major hacking incident; the company has faced several in recent years, potentially exacerbated by past layoffs affecting cybersecurity teams.
