Call of Duty Warzone has been plagued with hackers since its release. The free nature of the game makes it so that hackers can just make new accounts if and when the old ones are banned. As a result, this issue is still highly prevalent in Call of Duty.
Streamer banned from both Warzone and Black Ops Cold War
Recently, Call of Duty streamer named kd1pp was banned by Activision live on stream. He is known for using hacks and showcasing them to his fans. The streamer was in a game of Warzone on Rebirth Island.

After missing a sniper shot, he instantly mowed down the player with immense accuracy while using an MP5 from long range. Not something you see every day. Seconds later, he disconnected from the game and received the message about hacking software being detected.

In order to see the true extent of this ban, the streamer switched to Black Ops Cold War. However, while loading into a game on Alpine, he was once again disconnected from the server. This time, he received a message clearly informing him that he had been banned. His reaction was just to laugh it off.
