To and fro the island.
No one knows for sure. The major reason discussion concerning Playstation Network banning increased is because of a simple Twitter conversation between someone and '402', the community manager of Infinity Ward, Robert Bowling. Bowling did hint that something was going to be done, in particularly the Prestige 10 Hack.
Some people seem to think that nothing is going to be done about this, and that is was merely a bluff by Bowling in hope to decrease the hacker population on Modern Warfare 2. Some people argue that Infinity Ward couldn't possibly ban everyone that uses this hack, for that would require them to basically scan the leaderboard from bottom to top. Some people have come to the conclusion that only those with extremely high, and unfathomable stats, despite their play time, will be reset ( and possibly banned from MW2 on that account ).
Others are taking this conversation more seriously, fearing that bannings are going to begin, and that everyone who carried out the hack will be subject to the consequences. I've done some looking around, and some people argue that Infinity Ward may have a system or process in which they can identify hackers. There have also been other points mentioned in which are needless to really mention due to being rather vague.
Again, no one really knows which of the above it could be. So, if you're planning on asking the question: "Will I get banned?", merely consider both sides of this, and deem for yourself as to which you believe.
My personal philosophy is that the best course is likely to de-prestige. Chances of getting kicked off the leaderboards, and Modern Warfare 2 for that matter, will be greatly decreased if you are a lower prestige. If you're still worried, consider your days played, and go to a prestige in which you think looks legit.
I hope this serves as a somewhat explanation if you're still worried. If you're still on ends, you can always simply wait until action is / is not carried out and something is concluded or confirmed until making your move.

I would rather there not have been a hack because since there was I was tempted to use it. Regardless there was a hack so it is Infinity Ward's job to fix it. The UFO hack could be used as an example of how many players were banned but also that can be counter balanced by the fact MW2 was only a few weeks away when UFO was going on. My conclusion is that if I were one of the original posters of this hack I would be worried. Being that I was not I am not worried at all but the people that should watch out in my opinion are the finders and first posters of the hack as well as people who have done it for many people. Everyone who did and/or is doing it for other people should probably not draw attention to the fact that you did do it and stop doing it for others.
This post is based on opinion so don't take any of this as definite.

yes that may be a good point about prestige providers but remember, the detials linked to a psn account are to the owners not the providers, we will not fall into fire because when a user plays a match, they provide information to the server such as IP details which links them to the owner, when the original player plays the match its now there responsibilty and there multiplayer or ps3 is in trouble.
(well thats what i think)
i also like this thread, clear with every side of the story rep+
