MW2 IWNET Trojan/Virus Warning Thread
A 2009 PSA about hackers slipping viruses through Modern Warfare 2 game servers — and the resident hackers immediately joking about hacking each other.
Member faxity posted a public service warning that malicious users were reportedly able to compromise MW2/IWNET game servers to push trojans onto unsuspecting players' PCs, sourcing an Infinity Ward forum thread. The community's reaction was equal parts gratitude and dark humor, given fkn0wned's own cheat-scene crowd, with jokes about hackers getting hacked themselves. A moderator (vermiLLion) moved the thread from the PC COD section to Console Gaming and noted the same post had also appeared on another forum (elX).
OMG that is wicked, and why the hell did you post it here, there are hackers here lmao xD— Yunyun
Don't want the people on fkn0wned to get fkn0wned— faxity
Hmm, we need to learn how to do this. asap!— deX-
Console Gaming: Call of Duty 4 / Modern Warfare 2 Discussion
Montages, glitches, XP exploits, and prestige bragging rights — the MW2 board at its peak.
This is the Modern Warfare 2 discussion subforum under Fkn0wned's Console Gaming section, active in late 2009 into January 2010. Regular vermiLLion dominated the board posting a steady stream of kill montages ('Adrenaline', 'Nero', 'Ante Bellum', 'Syntax', 'Get Away'), while other members traded talk of XP glitches, boosting, weapon comparisons, prestige achievements, and general impressions of the game. The tone is casual hobbyist gaming-community chatter typical of the era, with the usual sidebar ad for undetected CSS hacks hinting at the site's broader cheat-scene identity.
