Microsoft Reject Xbox Live was Compromised

4.6
Microsoft has denied that Xbox Live has been compromised, although admitted that there’s been outside access to “a limited number” of accounts. Reports from all over the shop, including GAF and Reddit, indicate that hackers have gained access to their profiles and bought Microsoft Points, as well as FIFA 11 or 12 appearing on their gamercards.

Microsoft is currently sorting out the situation, but says the service as a whole hasn’t been compromised.

“We do not have any evidence the Xbox LIVE service has been compromised. We take the security of our service seriously and work on an ongoing basis to improve it against evolving threats,” said an MS statement to Ars.

“However, a limited number of members have contacted us regarding unauthorized access to their accounts by outside individuals. We are working with our impacted members directly to resolve any unauthorized changes to their accounts.

“As always, we highly recommend our members follow the Xbox LIVE Account Security guidance provided at www.xbox.com/security to protect your account.”

You would care if someone took YOUR account. Somebody attempted to hack into my account. But I have a profile password. So those hackers can suck my balls.


once the hacker recovers your account there is no pass code mate
Having someones password, and hacking an account are two different things, profile dumps are pretty common things to come by and just because a site like ea has peoples profiles leaked doesn't mean the live system was hacked...

I don't think that if there is "hackers" trying to compromise Xbox live; they won't get far.

Hahaha the profile password goes away once u recover onto a new xbox or recover it back to you're xbox.
It's useless if someone recovers it. Then no more xbox live passcode
