Some Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 streamers are getting more than they bargained for, with the game opening up a little more information to the world than players hoped to share. According to streamer Tofoo, who took to Twitter, when you play Black Ops 4, if you click on anything that might begin a purchase, you could in fact be showing off your entire set of payment information to the masses viewing your stream.

PSA: IF YOU ARE PLAYING #BlackOps4 ON STREAM, DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING THAT WOULD START A PURCHASE. YOU WILL LITERALLY SHOW ALL YOUR PAYMENT INFORMATION. RT TO SAVE A LIFE

This appears to be a problem currently localized to those playing on PC via Battle.net. but if you're planning on spending time online smokin' some fools in Black Ops 4, just keep it in mind, because if you don't want the world to see your payment information, it's a good idea not to initiate any purchases to keep it that way.
