In response to some stories and tales floating around over the past couple weeks about Xbox Live fraud that has been going on (accounts hacked and gamertags stolen), Microsoft has responded by saying that they are aware of the issue and are looking into the whole fiasco. From CNet:
"Recently, there have been reports of fraudulent activity and account theft taking place on the Xbox Live network. Security is a top priority for Xbox Live, and we are actively investigating all reports of fraudulent behavior and theft."
Anybody here have their junk stolen? Let's hope Microsoft does take this seriously. We don't pay $50 a year for nothing, you know.
