Since the game's launch, Call of Duty: Warzone has been full of hackers who exploit the game's lack of anti-cheat measures. While the community has very little defense against cheaters, Activision has been working to implement ban waves and stricter anti-cheat programs. Despite their efforts, Call of Duty: Warzone continues to have a persisting cheater epidemic.
The war against hacks is a losing battle as Call of Duty: Warzone hackers seem to adapt to every update. With hacks openly available online, it is only a matter of time till another player decides to give in and use a hacking program. Call of Duty: Warzone does ban hackers, but the number of hacking players continues to grow despite developer efforts.

Google uses an automated system to help target ads at users based on their google search results. Players who search for Call of Duty: Warzone hacks or cheats have begun to notice advertisements offering third-party software. These targeted ads are paid for by the developers of the third-party systems, and they offer a chance to buy aimbots and wallhacks for Call of Duty: Warzone competitors. While this is a generally accepted system, the advertising of these products goes against the policy that Google has set forth in their advertising system. The active advertisements make accessing Call of Duty: Warzone hacks easy for players, and this is only adding to the continuing problem.
Google AdSense policies prohibit the advertising of products or services designed to enable dishonest behavior. This includes academic cheating, hacking software, and other disreputable practices. Despite this, Call of Duty: Warzone hacks are available through their ads to anyone looking for the software.
Advertising through Google is not the only way that Call of Duty: Warzone hackers are advertising. Many cheaters have been streaming themselves on Facebook, and Facebook Gaming has been found promoting Call of Duty: Warzone cheaters multiple times in the past. Although Facebook Gaming has started banning cheating players, the Call of Duty: Warzone hackers have not stopped using the service and instead are rotating live accounts.
Call of Duty: Warzone's developers have been increasing their anti-cheat efforts, but the amount of cheaters within the game is continuing to rise. Following the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, cheaters have become more blatant and aggressive within competitive circles. While Activision may be taking extra measures, many community members are concerned that it might be too late.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
