Hackers from Australia, Canada and the US have been charged with breaking into the networks of games developers and the US Army to steal software worth at least $100m, according to prosecutors.
The Department of Justice says the alleged cyber theft included 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3' as well as 'Gears of War 3', both of which were snatched prior to release.
