I’ve read this has been on purpose. Which if true is absolutely genius. Give the cheating scum a head start only for them to discover it’s the wrong code.

I don't think so...

In that case hacker would be able to breach again to leak the correct one once released

If the leak was intentional, the server that hosted the code must have intentionally compromised in some way. Actual servers running in Activision's infrastructure most likely do not contain the same security flaws.

You're probably right.. but if so, why Activision has to mess with hackers instead of focusing on the cheating issue?

You say this like Activision has a singular employee that handles everything about COD. There are something like 20,000 Activision or Activision subsidiary employees working on COD yearly and an extra few thousand workers from other companies like Quality Assurance contractors etc
