Microsoft: Xbox Live security strengthened, started with spring update
It's all part of new security measures that Microsoft is employing, measures that began with the spring update issued last month. The update helped Microsoft "build on security enhancements for the near future," says Xbox Live general manager Alex Garden.
Xbox Live took its share of security lumps this year, including claims of a FIFA hack and purported Windows Live ID problems. In the community post, Microsoft also provides some general internet security tips – in case you didn't know it was a bad idea to use the same password for every site you've ever logged onto.

c0dm0dz People account safety 101, don't put your credit card number on your account, simple as that. Just use a microsoft points giftcard.
I have my credit card on my account but they can't do jack crap with it because I have it setup to ask for my last 4 of my SSN... therefore no one except me can use it...
