Ok. Just to clarify. I am not a gullible little child. So i am not usually tricked by people on xbox live who usually say "i am gonna hack your account" because i know they are just angry that they suck. But today i heard of a guy who stole another guys account and then deleted all his friends and sent loads of messages out saying nasty things. I (being my normal skeptical self) thought it was complete bull. So i added the guy who apparently did this and confronted him about it. The conversation soon heated up and he appeared to take offense to my tone of voice. He then said "i think you need to go offline". Around 5 seconds later i found myself lagged out of xbox live and decided to run the troubleshooter. I continuously got DNS problems. So i logged in to my modem , and noticed i did not have an ip, or anything. This is very unusual. I, at first assumed that my internet was down so i phoned my internet company to see if there was an outage on my line, and there was no problems. So i began to get a little worried.
40 mins later my internet returned. i signed in to halo and looked at my messages from him. They read "i bet your worried but dont worry u didnt use your credit cards". Now i was still thinking this may be a coincidence. He then invited me to his party, and i played it cool and pretended like nothing happened, but he then said "finally got your internet back". I replied and tried to stay cool. I stayed in his party and had a listen to his friends conversing. They were talking about the other accounts they had on their linux and were swapping details with eachother. I heard one of them saying they now use "wizard ip" because its a better program (i assume for hacking somehow).
Now i am concerned and i have just met 1 other person who is also English that was foolish enough to cross this person, and he too had a similar story to tell. Apparently he phoned the Xbox support line and they said it was impossible for someone to hack your account and spoof your MAC address of your xbox. So he didn't know what to do.
I am really concerned because my accounts have 2 credit cards linked to them and i don't want this criminal to get his hands on my money. What should i do?
Wh
not to be an ass but i think that xbl bungie or microsoft sould have something to prevent this
