Indeed, I just found out about that earlier... for anyone reading this thread it should be noted that the issue (apart from the game obviously having the vulnerabilities) seems to stem from these people getting your ip address in order to use these exploits on you. With peer to peer it's very easy to get this information, in BO3 they must have other means of getting it.
The exploit isn't IP related. Even if you're running a VPN, they can send whatever they want through the game. It's all about the data exchanged between players which still occurs on Demonware servers.

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you use a VPN you still have an IP address... a VPN is not going to protect you from this sort of thing because their backend is just going to have your VPNs address instead lol - in other words it doesn't stop them sending you data.

If it is not your IP address that is the issue but the backend, why is cod 4 and 5 fine?

COD4 and WaW are fine because the servers are run by communities and are constantly checked unlike BO2 and BO3.

No his channel got hacked because he doesn't have common sense and fell for an obvious advertising scam.

Nope, zombies is as bad, if not worse than multiplayer, because zombies doesn't even have dedicated servers, it is only p2p. Peer to peer matches are generally far less secure than matches on dedicated servers. Considering you can already get pwned on dedicated servers in bo3, zombies can actually be worse. In any case, I would stay away from p2p servers in this game.

There's only a couple people as of now that have the exploit and they only care about multiplayer. You were only a target because you denied the existence of the exploit, putting others in danger of it.
What?

First of all I did not put anyone in danger.

Second, the RCE exploit exists in BO3, and there is absolutely logical reason why it couldn't be used in zombies.

Third, are you saying that if I didn't post here, I wouldn't have get hacked?

How do you want to know that?

How so? How would me not denying the RCE vulnerabilities have had any impact on the security leaks in this game? So if I wrote RCE is possible from the beginning here, I would not have RCE'd, because... I magically get an RCE protection or what? Why would I have not getting hacked then? LoL what you are saying now is beyond any logic.

Again, how do you want to know that?

But since I'm not denying it anymore, I guess I'm safe now and can't get RCE'd anymore, right?

Your staunch denial of the exploit is what compelled the person to do it to you. Besides, you said you wanted direct proof of it. There's your proof.
If you are not trolling in your last posts, then you are basically admitting that you hacked me, all you are saying can only be known by the person who hacked me.

It looks like your whole posts in this thread read like "Hey bro, lemme just RCE you and show you how right and powerful I am".
