WARNING: Black Ops 3 is NOT safe to play

[[?]legit]

Call of Duty Black Ops 3 has a massive security flaw, enabling other players to install a virus on your PC.

It happened to me today in a mutiplayer game: My game became suddenly minimized, cmd.exe opened and a prompt appeared that a dll file was executed. Windows defender immediately blocked the execution of the malware.

I've always considered the multiplayer to be more or less safe... well, it's obviously not.

Do not play Black Ops 3, unless you are okay that people can gain access to your PC. If you just picked it up during the sale, request a refund. Stay safe.

For older cod games which don't use dedicated servers, yes. But for Bo3? I've heard the claims, but never really saw evidence on how people get actually RCE'd. Most in the times everyone was referring to game closing or hacking the ingame stats.

But I never believed that hackers can actually drop and execute files on your pc in bo3. Until now.

Fake, RCE isnt real. Its a conspiracy invented by the lergster.

this is all a fear mongering plan by the lergster this is fake RCE.

Yup, I'd never imagined it to be possible in BO3, but now it finally happened after almost 3k hours.

While zombies holds technically the same risk for getting hacked like this, I think it's less likely for a couple of reasons:

- Zombies has only a maximum of 4 players. Multiplayer has 12.
- People in multiplayer are far more toxic. There are so many salty individuals that get upset while they are cheating, but still losing.
- You play against people in MP, but you with other players in a team in zombies.
- I got hacked after I rekt another opponent for some games in a row. He was cheating and still got smacked some times.
- Decent MP players seem to be a target, as well as popular, or streamers in general.
