For a second I thought it was actually the network, not a game.
I thought that as well, man that would've been hilarious... It would suck but it would also be quite funny at the same time.

I have a theory that Nintendo is behind all this. Actually, they are probably just trying to keep it low, which explains why they haven't taken down the entire Xbox live network yet. Just you wait...

This. Thread title should be changed...it's already misleading as it is, and given the current PlayStation Network issue right now, I suspect that most people walking into this thread will think the same thing that happened to PSN happened to Live as well. >_>

Also, as someone commented earlier, phishing isn't technically hacking. This is more of a glitch exploitation than a breach of a secured system.

I thought that as well, man that would've been hilarious... It would suck but it would also be quite funny at the same time.
It would be a bit amusing that it occurred so close to the PSN hacking incident. But it would suck as well; essentially being a terrible week for gamers. :\

So it's just Modern Warfare 2 and not the whole entire network? Glad I don't play it on xbox live. Man, these hackers can't seem to give up. That would've been a bit scary if the network was hacked.

You'd think that Black Ops would would be hacked, seeing as how it's the newest.
Its easier to be caught doing it on Black Ops though as the developers are still watching for hackers/glitches to fix.

IW will have finished any little changes to MW2 a while ago.

The title really needs to be changed, as I thought live was down too. xD

Mw2 being hacked on Xbox too? Well, I can tell you that'll be fixed soon. Because Mw2 on ps3 was being hacked a few months ago, but then we had an update and nobody could hack it anymore. Then they said that they'll do an update for Xbox a few months later.
So, just expect an update soon.

There we go, thread title changed. Not the best title, but whatever, it works. XD

All I can say is... welcome to 2009. 10th prestige lobbies, and lobbies to lower your rank was there since the game came out. Being able to lower or up someone's level is no surprise.
I just wish these people would get a life. The people who do the Modding, and the hacks on anything, I mean you have to be sad to spend your time hacking something like PSN just to get a kick out of it. Or have to be messed up in the head to say "I'm trying to prove a point, I'm going to make millions of people mad/sad but I'll be happy".

The game isn't maintained like it used to be, eventually a hacker will make their way around any systems the game has integrated into them, MW2 has pretty much been abandoned in terms of support, and thus hacking is easier, with less chance of getting caught, etc
Black ops is a brand new game, that is still selling thousands off the shelf per day, and so they want to keep it up to standard.
Try playing Cod4 if you still have it, I'd say 1 in every 5 or so games someone is using hacks on there now.
It's just the way it is, I've never been a massive fan of MW2, but my dad plays it, no wonder my k/d is terrible..., but it always was an easily exploited game in comparison to 4 and even WAW, which was horrible I think.

Sony and Nintendo are NOT competitors. Sony and Microsoft are.

Being on a PC platform, I'm pretty comfortable that Steam has had every precaution taken when being built up.

Well, they are competitors, just not going at it for the exact same market of gamers like Microsoft and Sony. Though Microsoft seems to be trying to move to taking Nintendo's audience with its lack of any actual good games and emphasis on that Kinect.

I'm glad I don't play MW2 as much as I used to. Mind you, there have always been dodgy messages received from playing that game. Like 'Insta 10th Prestige' and stuff.
