Live Account Hacked

[Kornman00]

Some jackass got into my account and spent ~900MSPs on my XBL account (yes, I know, this should be under Tech Talk, but no one gives a shit about this site anymore so why try). I just got access to my account back a few minutes ago (can't do much now since they put a hold on it while they do an investigation).

Fucking not how I wanted wake up today :|. Security text alerts are helpful, but that's it. The emails saying 'oh, your account name has been changed to X email, is this correct?' isn't helpful because the link that says to 'cancel' the action either times out (I didn't get to it until 10hrs later) or just doesn't work.

The most surprising thing about this whole mess is that Xbox customer support...was pretty good. The chap knew what he was doing. And didn't have an accent.

You just have a way of making friends with people don't you Korn.

Google "xbox live hacked" and click the "# related articles" under the first result. Look at how many news articles were posted on the 13th

Mine got hacked in December. They bought fucking Fight Night Champion. If you're going to hijack my account for a bit, at least buy something good.

I never have a payment method tied to my account and I only buy ms points when I need them.
:>

Even if someone was to hijack my account they wouldn't be able to do much but spam my friends(even though I spam them anyways).

I had ~900MSP already on my account. They spent all but 30.

Actually, no. I read an article on Battlefieldo yesterday that said XBOX's account management system was hacked yesterday. I swiftly changed my password, but I forgot to post about it here

I could have warned you, but I didn't...
