Activision has taken down the 'Call of Duty: WWII' game after hackers exploited a flaw in a specific PC version of the game, leading to players' computers being hacked.
The company announced the offline status of the Microsoft Store version of the game due to investigating reports of an issue, which was later revealed to be related to hacks.
Players complained on social media about being hacked while playing the game, with reports of a remote code execution exploit affecting the safety of playing the game on PC.
Activision took down the Microsoft Store and Game Pass versions of the game due to an old flaw not patched on these versions, contrasting with the Steam version, with the online status still down as the company works on a fix.
