## Summary

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2’s PS5 port was reportedly disrupted by a hacker known as “C isn’t Sharp”, prompting concern that multiplayer could become unreliable or inaccessible. Players said the hacker could reset or alter statistics, award Master Prestige instantly and, in some cases, leave accounts unable to play, making the issue more serious than conventional cheating.

Streamer Timthetatman was among those reportedly affected, and social-media posts indicated similar incidents over several days. The concerns echoed hacked-lobby problems on older versions of Black Ops 2, while the port had recently topped PlayStation’s popularity charts ahead of Fortnite and Roblox; Activision said it was investigating cases where accounts had been set to incorrect Prestige levels.
