Black Ops 2: Stolen and Modded?

4.4
It seems that a youtuber has stolen a testing build of Black Ops 2 off the xbox live servers. According to sources the build codenamed Phoenix was stolen using unauthorized access to the xbox live content system via marketplace manipulation.

There have been some recent tweaks to the content system due to programs allowing anyone to map and view hidden content on both the xbox live and pnet(developer) networks. We are being told that a listing of black ops 2 with hidden content being shown will reveal "Phoenix", this is the probable source of the leak being shown as hacked in the video below that has been archived by us for use in this article.

What is your opinion of both the leak due to marketplace manipulation and the decision to hack it? Should they have tighter control systems in place to stop thing like this from happening?

Comment below with your opinions and concerns!

Update: Activision via Irdeto have made us remove the video

Today the twitter-verse got all excited as a video started doing the rounds of a rumored hacked Black Ops II build. In all the hullabaloo the various outlets reporting on this build failed to do a little fact-checking. Like, hey, people who actually made the game and the build, whats the story, is this for reals?

But we did.

So, I asked Activision about this hack video, and what, in fact, it was. And this is what they had to say:

The video posted is from a development demo build, using developer tools meant for testing. The retail build was never accessed or compromised.

So sounds like a lot of breathless posturing over a video of something that the devs used for testing, which isnt in the final game, and isnt representative the actual final product.

So, calm down folks, not long to wait until the actual game is revealed in its entirety.
