Call of Duty WWII on Game Pass Hacked: Your PC Is Not Safe!
Imagine playing your favorite shooter, Call of Duty WWII, and suddenly your computer starts acting like it’s possessed! That’s exactly what happened to players running the game through the Windows Game Pass platform.
What’s going on?
The game recently became available on Game Pass but was quickly pulled after numerous reports of hacking attacks. Users reported their Notepad opening automatically with offensive messages, desktop backgrounds changing, and even forced system shutdowns!
How did hackers do it?
Security experts, including the well-known group vxunderground, uncovered a serious security flaw called Remote Code Execution (RCE). This vulnerability allows hackers to take control of a victim’s computer without needing extra permission from the user.
How serious is it?
While current attacks seem mostly prankish—changing wallpapers and showing offensive messages—experts warn the same flaw could be exploited for far worse: installing malware, stealing data, or full system takeover.
Who’s affected?
Luckily, versions on Steam and Xbox consoles are not affected. The problem only hits the PC version via Game Pass.
What should you do if you play?
If you have the game installed through Game Pass, don’t launch it until the issue is fixed. If you notice strange system behavior while playing, run antivirus scans immediately, and in severe cases, consider reinstalling your system.
What do Activision and Microsoft say?
Activision briefly stated the game was pulled to investigate reported issues and that they’re working on a fix. No official date for the game’s return to Game Pass has been announced yet.
Bottom line
This is a gamer’s nightmare! A game meant for fun turned into a security risk. Thought PC gaming was safe? Think again. Game Pass users, beware!
So, have you experienced this madness yet? Or just waiting for your PC to shut down mid-game? Share your stories—maybe together we can cook up some antivirus voodoo to break this digital curse!
