Researchers uncover hole in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 |
November 09, 2012
Researchers have found a serious vulnerability in the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and another in the CryEngine 3 graphics platform on which many games run.
Luigi Auriemma and Donato Ferrante of security consultancy ReVuln presented their findings at the Power of Community (POC2012) security conference in Seoul on Friday.
Vulnerabilities in games pose particular opportunities for hackers and even other gamemakers, who may be interested in trying to steal a competitor's players, Ferrante said. Shutting down a competing game could be particularly lucrative for another gaming company.
"This is something we have seen," Ferrante said. "We have a lot of companies that ask for these kinds of denial-of-service attacks to attack competitors. This is really a big concern for companies."
