IW admit MW2 and CoD Hacks But Blame PS3's Lack of Security
Infinity Ward has finally admit that Mw2 and COD4 are hacked, but they believe that it's more Sony's fault as their machine that has had its security breached isn't looking like it's going to be patched for now.
Robert Bowling the community manager, aka Fourzerotwo, released this statement on the matter.

"Sony has recently acknowledged a breach in security on the PS3 which resulted in games to become exposed to exploits and hacks. Modern Warfare 2 is no exception to this security exploit and we understand that some of you have experienced problems with stats and other issues associated with this.
Games rely on the security of the encryption on the platforms they're played on, therefore; updates to the game through patches will not resolve this problem, unless the security exploit itself is resolved on the platform. Regretfully, Call of Duty games are receiving the bulk of the hacker's attention, due to its high player counts and popularity. However, the number of legitimate players severely outweighs the bad apples.
If you are concerned about playing with players who are hacking, I encourage you to play exclusively with friends by utilizing the party or private match options in Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty 4 to avoid such players as much as possible until this issue is resolved by Sony.
At this time, we do not have the ability to restore or adjust individual stats.
Let me assure you, while we are very reliant on Sony updating their firmware and security to address the core problem of this issue. We are looking at EVERY option available to us to help any user affected.
This only applies to legacy games such as Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2. In the future we plan to adjust our approach to not rely solely on platform security and reduce the ability for this to happen in our games, as has already been displayed by the work Treyarch has done on Call of Duty: Black Ops to prevent similar measures."

That is some BS. He didn't even mention the Xbox, which is where ALL the hacks started.

Lol, they blame PS3's security, what about black ops? It's been hacked on the Xbox, but not PS3, and how bout the fact that the game itself had NO security
