It was bound to happen eventually. Despite Infinity Ward doing everything they could to keep hackers out of Modern Warfare 3 (even going so far as to fly out some of the hackers themselves to consult on how to stop them), the game has now been hacked.

You can see the results of some of these hacks in the videos below. The videos include users on the Xbox 360 using hacks such as walking AC-130′s, infinite ammo, superspeed, and general all-around God-mode Apparently, according to a developer on the official Call of Duty forums, lobbies which were modded to decrease players’ ranks were initially made to be public before developers caught on. “A modding group created a viral mod, which we prevented from spreading within twelve hours yesterday,” according to an IW developer. He added, “sadly, in ‘protest’ at our ability to disable this they are now inviting player’s to private matches where they reset their stats.” Good news that it has been contained and removed from public lobbies, but the threat still lives in private ones. It is stressed that MW3 players should “avoid friend invites from ANYONE not on your friend list.”

Luckily, IW developers have stated that they ”are working actively on fixing this issue and also backing up player stats so that [they] can reset those affected by this malicious behavior.” So to clarify, those worried about their stats having been recently affected, developers state that “they will have been backed up” and that they “put this system in place the moment [they] learned of this group’s activity.”
