They did not say anywhere in that article that the stats will be reset. The stats of the hacked accounts most likely will be, but the entire leaderboard in a whole? I highly doubt that. That article was simply E4G saying their opinion on the matter, thats it.

Its all cock and bull speculation....
Last time I contacted IW regarding CoD4, I got the short and sweet reply of - We're working on it...look how far that went

They wont reset the leaderboards and they wont delete the hackers. First off, imagine the amount of lawsuits that would be opened against IW, they would have to prove with full evidence that the person they deleted had hacked, and just by saying 'look at the numbers' doesn't justify it.
Plus, Robert Bowling from IW said Sony aren't willing to ban gamers who glitch or hack unless it's by using packet injection - again, there is no proof they have hacked, the gamesave data is stored locally so unless they seize over 800 PS3's, good luck.
Also, who would be the person to decide who has hacked and who hasn't....would you say boosting is a form of hacking (manipulating the game to your advantage)? If so, now you have an even harder task of sorting through the 'legit-looking ones' to remove them. Get one wrong and they'll be in the shit.
It won't happen, it just wont. They could do a leaderboard reset but what about the other 4 million players who have actually played and ranked up legit, would you really want to go back to 0 on score, wins, losses etc. plus if they keep your rank, the leaderboards would screw up as rank is determined by XP which is determined by score...it would be a mathematical cluster****.
this was not posted by me but its very true
