I found the following in the windows live account FAQ section:

If you believe that someone else has signed in to your Windows Live account, you can change your password, reset your password, or report the issue to Windows Live.

Now, obviously if they've gone and changed your password, you'll need to report it to Windows Live. I'm sure you can find out how to do that with some searching. If i find it, i'll edit this post.

Yea, I seen that. But with the way Microsoft layouts their sites, I can't find anything, not even with the search feature. And sadly, with what they have suggested, it is my only option.

Threats, you will find, do not go over well. You'd also be surprised at what we know. By "we", I am not referring to the moderators.

I strongly encourage people not to post things claiming to be from the person who gained access to Pezza's account. You'll also find that I don't care that you have another person's account - once it is compromised, you can't really "give it back." And, considering who the person in question is, expecting comments from that person to be credible in any way is just asking to be stabbed in the back.

From what I know this could happen to anyone. I mean I have had multiple emails phished from plenty of site in my time. This is probably an occurrence that will happen again. I mean the the chance that a mods account being hacked is pretty bad, but now other peoples accounts are getting hacked makes me wonder if this forum is safe.

In the last couple days, two accounts have been phished from this site. I mean this seems to be that these forums are being held hostage by who ever this is and does that mean we should stop posting and let the forums be stagnate for awhile. Just a thought.

That is understandable. Well, I guess it's time to start over for me...

It is unfortunate, but Pezza gets the same treatment - he'll have to get a new account. The problem is that if a Live ID is compromised, it is no longer trusted, and it is foolhardy to attempt to pretend it wasn't under someone else's control.

Will Pezza still be a moderator?

Will he be granted moderator status again?

I think Pezza should still be a mod.

Well then, this sucks. I understand your reasoning Achronos, but I sort of need to vent.

He has taken my Xbox Live Account, thus being able to steal money from me. Now I am stuck on Microsoft's Customer Support trying to get them to cancel my account. And there is literally no way of telling them that my account was hacked since he has changed all the information at his fingertips. So I am stuck here helpless. My email is gone, my Microsoft Passport is gone, my gamertag is gone, everything gone. I am disappointed with how this worked out, but alas, there is no way that it could have gone differently. So, I thank everyone that has tried to help, and I thank Achronos for being so understanding when this all started. So, looks like it is time to start over, that is, if at all.

Use a finger print password thing: No need to remember passwords & its a uber hard password that nobody can possibly remember like @*njkAM. A@P-p;:@_9U(@l.d!MK.,mdkP-!)-!

Hell-Yeah. Try to to see somebody crack THAT password. Its probably safest to not show your e-mail address to anybody.... one big problem of the login for everything, is that you only have to crack one account to get that persons, messenger, XBL, etc.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Yea, but hey, what can you do? Mods, if you can, will you not lock this at least for a week or so? Xbox Customer Support said they would investigate this, for my gamertags sake. So, if you can keep it open till then, I'd appreciate it ;).

As long as there is discussion and it is on-topic and relevant, it won't get locked.

I don't understand how this thread's status (locked or unlocked) would be relevant to XBL support.

They said that they were going to investigate to see if I was telling the truth. This is, again, just so I don't get charged ridiculous amounts of money over Xbox Live.
