Microsoft is currently investigating an issue with numerous Xbox Live spam messages being sent out to others. Microsoft is offering a temporary fix in the meantime stating to change your privacy settings to "friends only."

Mike Ybarra, Partner Director of Program Management of Xbox sent out a tweet stating they are working on the issue and also said to report the spam messages.

Those asking about Xbox Live messages spam - we're working on it. But for now friends/my profile/privacy/custom and check friends only.
