Hackers Lock Call of Duty Black Ops PS5 Players Out Below Level 1 as Activision Disables Playlists

Summary
Negative-XP hacks in Call of Duty: Black Ops on PS5 are pushing players below Level 1, blocking access to competitive multiplayer modes such as Domination.
The exploit appears to carry over from the heavily hacked PS3 original, undercutting Activision's re-release despite expectations that new servers would curb old cheats.
Players are also reporting rapid match disruptions, hacked save files and illicit Pro Perk unlocks, leaving the PS Store best-seller's multiplayer broadly unplayable.
Activision earlier disabled Black Ops 1 PS5 playlists and said it was investigating the exploits, but it has not given a timeline for a fix.
