Hackers plague Black Ops PS4/PS5 ports, Activision deploys fix

Hackers have flooded the new Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops 2 ports on PlayStation 4 and 5 with modded lobbies, granting negative XP that locks players out of multiplayer. Activision disabled affected playlists, then re-enabled them with a server-side fix that resets affected players to level 20, promising more protections.
