Call Of Duty Developer's Account Hacked to Promote Cryptocurrency Scam

This week, the X (formerly Twitter) account of video game developer and distributor Activision Blizzard was hacked. The attackers took advantage of the breach to promote a cryptocurrency seemingly associated with the company.

The ATVI token was promoted in posts from Activision Blizzard's X account during the attack. These posts claimed that the asset could be redeemed for items from the developer at a later date.

According to posts made by the perpetrators of the attack, another company supposedly involved in the development of ATVI tokens was Solana Labs. This company is responsible for the development of the Solana network and its namesake cryptocurrency, known by the ticker SOL.

While the ATVI token does exist on the Solana network, it appears to have no genuine connection to the companies the hackers sought to link it to.

None of the platforms involved have made definitive statements on the matter. However, all posts related to ATVI during the attack were deleted from Activision Blizzard's account.

The only post made by the company after the hack was to report that they had regained control of the account and would be investigating the details to prevent similar situations in the future.

Activision and Cryptocurrencies

Previously, there were reports suggesting that Activision Blizzard might explore the use of blockchain and cryptocurrencies in its products following its acquisition by Microsoft.

The company had shown interest in developing metaverses, which often intersect with distributed ledger technology (blockchain). However, as of now, there have been no signs of progress in this area from the video game developer.
