Infinity Ward - PS3
[/color]Update 3:
The patch to address the security issues has now left production and is going through quality assurance internally. You can stay posted on when it will be released for each platform here:

Update 2:
Sony has updated their official blog regarding a security update coming to the PS3. You can find their original post below:

This is an official Sony update, not the one we are creating, which I mentioned earlier. However, I want to make it clear we will still be doing our own updates for Modern Warfare 2 for additional security updates that are specific to our game. I would also like to note that we plan to duplicate this update on other applicable platforms as well.
Update 1: I just left a security meeting with the coders here at Infinity Ward where we discussed a lot of solutions. I feel good about the meeting, but of course I can't go into detail on the possible solutions we discussed as we don't want to give out any information that could potentially hinder the security any further.
Once I have more information, I will post it here.
The key factor I want you to know is, that while any update takes time, we are looking to make the process as quick as possible and nothing is being left unattended.
Our main focus right now is on:
1) Preventing hackers from affecting legitimate players.
2) Addressing users who have already been affected.
Original Post:
Sony has recently acknowledged a breach in security on the PS3 which has resulted in the hardware and its 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.
You must login or register to view this content.
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 completely, unless the security exploit itself is resolved on the platform. However, that doesn't mean we're not going to look into every option available to us. 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

Do a barrel roll!
This could be bad for people still running CFW CL lobbies, it sounds like while they have just released 3.56 OFW they plan on doing something BIG in the near future, so i wonder what that little update actually lets them see or do? if it allowed them to view your log file or history, or enabled remote access. (rumours).
I reckon they making their own patch
Infinity Wards patch_mp.ff
Includes infection 3.56 :wtf:
with Countdown Nuke on console when 3.57 released (Bricked)
Also has derank on PSN account (Blocked) :y:

2. IW didnt Gave up the game they dont know what to do against the hackers and a patch is a game file its hard to patch a patch cuz you van delete that patch anyway with awsome filemananger .
3. we have a serious problem if IW releases a Patch RIGHT now for Mw2.
That Means the following :
Sony patches our CFW and homebrew , IW patches our MW2 Patches.
That Means our modded Mw2 Patch is Patched but we CANT delete/Replace it cuz we cant use Awsome File Manager !
This Will be the best moment for IW to Patch Mw2 so Mw2 is Hacker free for a While
But Thank got i have Patch Blocker whahahahaha xD

Funny how everyone completely forget about 3.41 Jailbreaking. This game will still be hacked and exploited, but in much lesser numbers, like it should be. I'm glad to see custom firmware gone. Just so they keep data transfer utility I'm good.

Nobody forgot about 3.41? a simple security and COD patch update will sort it.
