On the trail of a PS3 Black Ops II modder... help me decipher these error codes

I was recently playing BO2 FFA matches and started getting pwnt by an obvious modder, and I reported him, but his recent games list showed a few deaths here and there so there is a chance Treyarch will just say he was very skilled and leave him alone. So I tried to get a lock on the guy to investigate further.

Can't view his PSN profile: error 8002A40D.

Can't send a freind request: error 8002A330.

Freind reqests sent from ingame seem to simply bounce off the interface as if the game is not even attempting to send them, so I figured I'd invite him into a 1v1 without lots of loud Spanish talking to keep him from hearing me (due to another person in the house attempting to sleep, I couldn't really shout over them). Try to get him to add me so I could keep an eye on him, or maybe even pull a Trollarch. Guess what - those don't go through either.

This guy has obviously taken some pains to make himself hard to reach, or maybe it's just connection gremlins - though given the fact that he seemed to have at least an aimbot, instakill bullets, and invulnerability, I'd guess all these barriers are intentional.

He likes to remind people of the difference between hacking and modding (seems to that either one would pass the other's duck test), but is evasive beyond that.

If I can figure out what these error codes mean, maybe someone can help me figure out a next move. BO2 has had few hackers so far (though the lewd emblems everywhere are annoying enough), I'd like to stop this one before he has a chance to cause more trouble.
 
Its very hard for me to leave COD. Its one of my favorite games. All this bullsh in the community and developers not fixing the game made me left the franchise. Its very hard at first but you'll understand along the way that you're only wasting your time raging instead of playing other good games or using your time in real life activities. What a breath of fresh air when I left COD. It made me sleep, eat, work, think well again. Yeah I lose my favorite game but I gain my sanity back. I hate raging all year every year because of all the crap in game. Its an addiction. You can cure it by saying "no".
 
The thing is once there is a new call of duty game the developer of the last one dose not care about it just look at the older games. Even if they patched these hacks or mods hackers will find a new way to hack the game. In the end you can't win.
 
Why activision refuse to use dedicated servers is beyond me. I stopped playing because of these hackers. If activision dont want to spend money to fix their game then I wont support them.
 
Though the hacks leave no trace I'm destined to just quit wasting my time. Take it from ultra he is right its funny cause I used to use aim bots back in the good old days. Playing counter strike more than ten years ago,However , I do not support them except for the knowledge of preventing them. So I'm ranked 20000 in zombies but I think I'm over it now. I as well has the exact same problem today. The only thing is they are getting better at it. They sucker in your location to tap into your history files so I'm sure to be getting new credit cards soon. Though they act like they are going to play then keep you on the line with their Mic. Accessing your ps3 internet browser as their eyes for encryption. But they are cleaning up their trail pretty good with these error codes so I'm going to check with Sony to see if my already (encrypted) as hell password was compromised. Most likely that's the cause of the error cause the playstation deems its own I don't know what happen codes. Sort of like this what happen OS system, and what happen game. Its a cheap world out there it isn't worth a breath under any form of technology. especially at this rate of growth. On the side note do not befriend these people and don't give out information. Cause there was two of them one as by standard another one was hacking. But the by standard was the communicator for the hacker they had to be party up but he admitted to me using my YouTube on my internet browser also stated his name as my name. For sighting me to as what they were doing. Derpdurpderp was the communicator I can access his trophies , but the person with no name cause it changes at their will probably running with a OS other than what Sony licenced by law. Or a joint of laptop/desktop through USB. So the only name I have of this guy is the last name I arm him with. Which brings me to another possible way Sony could catch these guys through or own data which is a form of error codes but also might be because the frequently changing of names might be the source of error code 8002A401, however, error code 8002A330 appeara when I try to block him , even compare trophy had its own code 80022A05 which I will research however when I tried to sends friend request out took a little while to load so I immediately used PS button to turn off system and I turned back on and it told me to check for corrupt files because of loading so that might be another reason why trophy, block, and profile is blocked three different error codes organized crime. This is what it has became. Sony says take it or leave it well I say down with Sony. Got making a flawed operating system which they know isn't going to last long so they keep charging us a arm and a leg for a piece of plastic and ordinary everyday products. Which is why I'm here explain to you how much tome I wasted enjoy your life if busting hackers is your thing then go become one cause its those people who know how they work and find a fix for it. Other than that you're just wasting your time money your life. I hope this long message will get you to understand what the problem is.I take no offense to you either I'm just trying to help you. as I too felt like my information was comprised so if it has good I know what to do if not then good I'll keep doing Ebay I was going to do just in c ase
