TL;DR

The newly released Black Ops 1 and 2 ports for PS4 and PS5 are popular but plagued by hackers who can instantly max level, demote others, grant Pro perks, and even see through walls, aided by peer-to-peer hosting rather than dedicated servers. Activision temporarily disabled affected playlists, re-enabled them, and issued a server-side XP fix that boosts impacted players to level 20, with more fixes promised; cross-gen play means PS4 hackers can disrupt PS5 lobbies, prompting discussion about resets or ongoing patches.
