#1: Trojan warning for MW2 *Updated* Author: Luke, Location: Grand Rapids, MI PostPosted: Wed Nov 18, 2009 4:16 pm

Reported in this forum post on the official IW forums and our very own forums apparently hackers have found a way to go around the IW.net system and send a Trojan virus through the IW.net system to Modern Warfare 2 players. Reverse engeneering the source code for Modern Warfare 2, the hackers inserted their Trojan and used the IW.net system to spread it to players across the globe. This was brough to light after several players got notified of a breach in their security by their antivirus software. The Trojan TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen had been sent to them using Modern Warfare 2's IW.net as the official transmitter (according to the antivirus).

If it was free I would play the single player. From all the security warnings up right now for MP i would not try it. Though I would not pay $60 for less then 10 hours of game play.
