“Unlock tool” and cheat downloads
Free unlock tools and cheats are a common way malware steals saved logins from your PC.
Call of Duty / Activision recovery
How to recover a hacked Activision or Call of Duty account
Your Call of Duty progress, Warzone loadouts and purchases are tied to your Activision account and the platforms linked to it. Recover it through Activision Support, then cut off anything the attacker linked.
How to recover a hacked Activision account
Step 1
Reset the password if your email still works
On activision.com, use “Forgot password”. If the reset email reaches you, change the password immediately.
Step 2
Use Activision’s account recovery page
If you are locked out, go to support.activision.com/account-recovery and choose the option for a compromised account. Answer with the details you used when you set it up.
Step 3
Have proof of ownership ready
The original email, your Activision ID, the platforms you play on, and purchase receipts all help Activision confirm it is yours.
Step 4
Unlink platforms you do not recognise
Once back in, check linked accounts (Battle.net, Steam, PlayStation, Xbox) and remove any you did not add, then turn on 2-step verification.
Step 5
Save the new login in LoginScout
Store the new password, Activision ID and backup codes on your Call of Duty card.
How Call of Duty accounts usually get taken
Fake COD Points offers
There is no free COD Points generator. Those pages collect Activision logins.
Reused passwords
A password from another leaked site is tried on Activision automatically.
Linked accounts
If an attacker gets into a linked platform account, they can reach your Call of Duty profile through it.
Check your PC after recovering
If you downloaded a cheat, unlocker or “free” tool before the hack, run a malware scan before you sign back in, or the new password can be stolen too.
Then change the passwords of any other accounts that were saved in the same browser.
Questions people ask
Where do I report a hacked Call of Duty account?

Possibly, with other proof of ownership like purchase receipts and linked platform details, through Activision Support.
