In the last few minutes DICE has called players' help (https://twitter.com/#!/Battlefield/status/135499155987628032) to catch the culprits. "To report players cheating or boosting send us a direct message to this Twitter with a screen shot of the Battle Log Report," it asks.
EA and Sony also recently confirmed (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/325761/battlelog-issues-for-psn-version-of-battlefield-3/) that there is a Battlelog problem with the digital version of Battlefield 3 downloadable via the PlayStation Store, and an update is in the making.
