We're going to see more insane stuff like this as studios prioritize using AI to make crappy concept art and texture work aka profit crazy instead of plugging vulnerabilities because Lord knows the h@x0rz are getting to know AI real good.

Very embarrassing for Microsoft. They're usually pretty squared away with security.

Call of Duty BO6 on Gamepass is going to be a hacking bloodbath unless they call in some major AI guns internally.

This could be bad for me if true. I get salty sore losers sending me angry messages over Halo 3 on a regular basis accusing me of cheating/etc.

To be clear, this isn't new, and they aren't able to ban players directly. What they're doing is spoofing a player's XUID so that it looks like the player is logged in multiple times. The ban is "legitimate" in that it's 343's auto-ban functioning as it should because a player is, as far as it can tell, in more than one place at once which isn't possible.
