Reports surfaced that 500,000 Activision accounts may have been hacked, impacting online Call of Duty players. The gaming giant is disputing the claims, saying that the reports of widespread hacks are false. The alleged breach was first flagged by the #oRemyy account on Twitter, and was quickly amplified by others, who claimed that accounts were being taken over and credentials changed, so that the legitimate users couldn t recover them. The incident should be a security wakeup call, according to security experts.
