XBL hacker steals Halo 3 armor, Microsoft says 'what's a hackings?' photo

A poor fellow at the official Bungie.net forums is claiming that he had an Xbox Live account hacked for his Halo 3 Recon Armor, which was gifted to the victim by Bungie itself. What's worse, Microsoft is currently refusing to do anything about it, and the unfortunate known as Skyllus (creator of the Halo 3 suicide video) apparently even had Xbox Live's customer support hang up on him.

Despite Microsoft's claims of a hack-free Live, Skyllus alledges that this has happened three times in but two months, and this latest has even had the hijacker bragging up his sad work online. The hacker is believed to be part of the "o infamous o" clan, a group of the so-called "best" account thieves online. 

If you check out the thread, you can see what a hassle it has been to get Microsoft to do anything about it. I've had to deal with Xbox Live's customer support before and I can lend my own testimony to how unhelpful, lazy and downright rude they can be. They've finally launched an investigation and hopefully something gets sorted out.

As for the waste of  sh*t in a bag of skin that is hiding behind the username of "I JaCkEd SkyLLus," firstly, random capitalization is the mark of all online retards, and secondly, you are completely pathetic, getting off on the idea of being "famous n*gga" because you can weasel your way into people's accounts. You're no different than the human vermin that we deal with at my other job who bail on the cab drivers without paying. It's a special kind of criminally pitiful that transcends revolting. Anyway, enjoy your precious Recon Armor, loser. 

Best of luck to Skyllus.

I've been following this crazy shit on vBi's forums and it's ridiculous. Microsoft has got to something with thier security cuz it is causing fraud out the wazoo. You got my support.

I don't understand how this isn't a bigger news story. XBOX Live is not a secure place to have your personal information. This was passed up back in early 2007. Why is this being ignored again.

Destructoid...get on this. Please.

As long as I've been gaming, I've never sen anything like this. I sincerely hope this guy, and the hacker clan get what's coming to them. No offense to anyone, but I'm glad I use the prepaid live cards instead of a credit card.

I feel that Bungie shouldn't of made something like that in the game if it was only going to be accessible by gamers who they wanted. You're always going to have that one person who is jealous and envious and will do everything in their power to either give some payback or try and find a way to get that special something. Bungie should of known that something like this would happen.We all know that all the armors you can get aren't as cool as the Recon armor. Skyllus was a vitcum because of Bungie's stubbornness to give gamers the full game content in which they paid for.When it was known that Gamers would be able to customize their own armor, the Recon armor was shown and it by far was the best looking and Bungie never said that It wouldn't be accessible to all gamers and would only be awarded. I'm not saying what that hacker did was right in any way. But Gamers felt cheated, and I feel some of us are overlooking that fact.

and I think this person hacked Skyluss's account to be a "famous n*gga" as you put it Jim Sterling.
