Anyone got any idea what's going on!!? (with regards to xbox, not in general smile ) Trying to play COD and messgaes keep coming up all the time like 'infected by shark at www.hackcod.fr team HCD' (something along those lines). It's happening again and again but I have no idea what it is. It's apparently not just me it's happening to but I don't know anyone who knows what it's all about so I thought I would try to pick some brains on here....

Nothing to worry about, a quick Google seems to suggest its just part of COD life?

It was happening yesterday and tonight, have asked on another 'forum' (yahoo answers!) and someone on there has had it too, but there is nothing to be found anywhere else! Hope yours stays ok for you...it's bloody annoying!!

Cheers Matt, just read all that. Wouldn't mind but I searched for ages last night and couldn't find anything! Mind you, my search thingy is 'bing' which has let me down a few times!

This page seems to suggest that its just a JTAG injection. Looks like a simple hack that dumps a message into the xbox memory so rebooting should fix it.

I agree, i play COD MOD2and get the hacked by blah blah in SHARK FR. IT IS ANNOYING as soon as i see it i get off that room. just in case i get hacked. especially after hearing of playstation getting hacked. .... How do u complain to microsoft about loss of satisfaction of game play when that comes on the screen?it ruins your view of game play screen (and we pay to play online).
Annoyed

I think you're confused - you do realise that game 'hackers' are little more than kids that cheat at games, right? As a pose to say, the crackers that broke into PSN's internal networks and stole user data. They are worlds apart and two completely different things.

tldr: The message is just a cute trick by someone that learned how to inject a message via a game lobby. It's not serious at all.
