My little brother’s acount was stolen by some guy named IV booster VI. and he said he would give him his acount back if he gave him a free one month. And he’s using it to boost his halo 3 account. these hackers need to get a life. Do they really care that much about a stupid rank in a game they didn’t earn. Do they get some sort of thrill stealing from 13 year olds on their christmas vactaion? It makes me sick, wouldn’t it also be Identity theft if you have credit card info on the account? Is it really worth it?

I really hate hackers… as name implies xD, anyway, these tips do help… and here’s another one, don’t save your password either, because my account was hacked, and it was because of someone actually looking into my history, and looking for the saved password option, YES it is true, so DO NOT SAVE YOUR PASSWORD!!!!

I’m sorry to hear your account has been stolen. You are completely right, this article is not a foul proof guide, simply some basic tips. I do hope you get your acount back.

I had a guy send me a voice message the other day offering to get me an XBL account with Halo 3 ranked up to General in exchange for my account. Needless to say I deleted the message. XBL needs a “report user for phishing”.

Yes.

You can also change your Windows Live ID email by clicking here:

and then click “change sign in” :)

Found that out yesterday!

I am happy to see they have stopped posting the gamertags as well. It definitely puts a target on their back unfortunately.

I wrote this over the weekend and actually changed all my passwords everywhere and just updated my information in general. I was surprised that I didn’t have a secondary email address associated with my Windows LiveID nor did I even have a security question selected. Definitely worth a few minutes to just pop into your account and check the status of things.
