IW.net allegedly spreading a Trojan virus

Reported in this forum post on the official IW forums and our very own forums apparently hackers have found a way to go around the IW.net system and send a Trojan virus through the IW.net system to Modern Warfare 2 players. Reverse engeneering the source code for Modern Warfare 2, the hackers inserted their Trojan and used the IW.net system to spread it to players across the globe. This was brough to light after several players got notified of a breach in their security by their antivirus software. The Trojan TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen had been sent to them using Modern Warfare 2's IW.net as the official transmitter (according to the antivirus). The Trojan itself apparently already surfaced in Call of Duty : World at War and is some sort of keylogging software hackers use to steal keycodes or potentially worse (stealing credit card information for instance).

The Trojan would exploit the port that is opened by Call of Duty when you are a listen server (when you are the host of a game) to send you the Trojan without your knowledge.

I lol'd, however it appears to be a false positive or at least claimed to be.

Quick answer: No.

Longer answer: No it isn't.

Reason: The game is great but for the singleplayer to only last 4hrs worth of gameplay, there is only so many times you can repeat it. Even Spec Ops requires online to complete some of the missions.
