After reports surfaced that 500,000 Activision accounts may have been hacked, impacting online Call of Duty (CoD) players, the gaming giant is disputing the claim.

The alleged breach was first flagged by the #oRemyy account on Twitter, and was quickly amplified by others, who claimed that accounts were being taken over and credentials changed, so that the legitimate users couldn’t recover them. The claims were picked up by gaming news outlet Dexterto.com.
