As the second season of Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific continues, it looks like the fraud radar has hit a little bit thanks to the Activision Ricochet team and their core-level anti-fraud computer pilots.
However, things seem to be changing quickly after tech giant Nvidia crashed last week and Warzone scammers opened the door to running Call of Duty fraud detection software seamlessly.

The $Nvidia LAPSUS leak on Twitter on Tuesday by renowned video game scam detective @AntiCheatPD has hackers now signing up for Nvidia-certified scams that are “anti-cheat but bad for all games.” ” “
A report from the police auto-anti-fraud department added that several other gambling anti-fraud services have already taken action to block the leaked certificate.
@AntiCheatPD writes: “After talking to some scam developers, the certificate seems to have expired, so anti-cheats may prevent this certificate from working.”
@AntiCheatPD said after his first tweet that Riot Games’ Vanguard, Epic Games’ Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye had already blocked the certificate.
So this seems like a separate issue that hackers should go unnoticed unless an anti-cheat or game is blocking the compromised certificate.
At the time of writing, it is unclear whether Activision’s Ricochet team has blocked the certificate.
However, if they haven’t, I hope they will soon. Alternatively, Warzone has in-game anti-cheat tools such as “Damage Shield”, where the server disables the suspected cheater’s ability to deal critical damage to other players in real time.
