À propos de cet audio

 In this episode of Secured Governance, we break down a shocking cybersecurity failure that hit one of the most recognized franchises in gaming: Call of Duty: WWII. Activision recently pulled the Game Pass and Microsoft Store PC versions after players discovered that hackers were exploiting the game to remotely access and control their computers in real time. This wasn’t a harmless glitch. It was a full-blown remote code execution (RCE) attack caused by an unpatched, outdated game build—leaving thousands of players vulnerable to malware, system crashes, and invasive pranks like forced Notepad pop-ups and pornographic desktop wallpapers. 🎮 But what really went wrong?
We expose the core problem: Activision’s total lack of GRC oversight. From software governance and patch management to vendor compliance and risk modeling, this episode explains how basic GRC principles could have prevented a public relations nightmare and protected millions of gamers. You’ll learn:
  • What a Remote Code Execution (RCE) exploit is — and why it’s so dangerous
  • How peer-to-peer (P2P) networking creates major risks in multiplayer games
  • What GRC controls, audits, and tools could have blocked this attack
  • The legal and reputational fallout for Activision
  • Why GRC isn’t just for banks and hospitals—it’s critical for gaming, too
