According to news from CTOnews.com on February 22, Activision Blizzard was previously hacked, resulting in the disclosure of employees' sensitive personal information and the content schedule of call of Duty.

According to a report by TechCrunch, Activision Blizzard suffered a phishing attack on December 4 last year, and a malware and cyber security expert named vx-underground collectively obtained screenshots of the stolen data, including a content schedule for call of Duty. According to Insider Gaming, the attack led to the disclosure of employees'"full name, email, phone number, salary, workplace and other information."

Activision Blizzard spokesman Joe Christinat responded: "on December 4, 2022, our information security team quickly dealt with an SMS phishing attempt and quickly resolved the problem. After a thorough investigation, we determined that no sensitive employee data, game code or player data were accessed." CTOnews.com noted that the carefully worded statement confirmed that the attack had taken place, but denied the severity of the incident and did not confirm the authenticity of the disclosure of the call of Duty content plan.

Video game leaks are becoming more and more frequent, and in September 2022, hackers leaked a lot of information about Grand Theft Auto 6, which was still in development, and Rockstar Games confirmed the incident, saying it would not affect game development.
