Xbox Live accounts, Hacked?

To play or not to play: that is the question.


Alot of stories are brewing about in the Microsoft nation, Xbox Live Gamer Tags are reported to be stolen. Around 50 other gamers have stated the same problem, being locked out the account or taken over while playing online leaving them out in the cold.

Microsoft firm stated:

"There have been a few isolated incidents where malicious users have been attempting to draw personal information from unsuspecting users and use it to gain access to their Live account. We think this is a good time to remind our members that they should never give out any of their personal information."


Xbox Live support gave gamers the the quick response when phoned with the problem saying there was nothing that could be done and put the blame on Bungie. Bungie Studios promptly stated that in no way has Bungie Studios been hacked.


Could it be that our Xbox Live information is slowly leaking from Microsofts graps, the better question brought to the table is how long is this going to continue?

i Felt the same, i decided to report on this just give a heads up. I'm worried though that this might start up again (in a big way), i read that not all cases were resolved and minor reports are still coming in. Hopefully, this will end all together, i highly doubt it though.
