Here's one you wouldn't have expected; a retail copy of Black Ops was stolen right from the printing presses in Alabama. This is according to Hooked Gamer, who had this to say…

"The alleged thief sold several of the copies of the game to associates… one of which who was a member of an underground hacking forum. The purchaser, who goes by the name of 'Ungodly Leaker' posted a thread on this forum showing the disc in his hands and making a few comments about the game. Ungodly Leaker had previously leaked Halo: Reach far ahead of its release and it is assumed intending to do the same with Black Ops."

The purchaser of the disc, 'Ungodly Leaker', who also leaked Halo Reach, intends to do the same with Black Ops.Activision and Tryarch and doing there best to try and stop the leak. All I can say is, avoid spoilers, report the hackers and watch the banhammer swing.
