Subject: Someone is trying to Hack my account

Duardo: You CAN change your Windows Live ID without creating a new account, Xbox Live Support is misinformed. If you'd like to do this instead and haven't made a new one yet, let me know.

I'll be using this account if my other one gets hacked.
I feel like an ass quoting myself.


You look like one too. Haha look at Duardo trying to bump his topic sneakily with another profile. Bad Duardo.

No offense, but was it really the best idea to show everyone your second account? I think he meant secretly PM a ninja so they will know in the future.

Doubt it matters, as long as it's known it's his. It's not like he's showing the address to it or anything.

Duardo: reply here if you'd like to know how to change your Live ID account and just change the email of it. It's very easy, but Xbox Support just doesn't know about it for some reason. I know about it from personal experience.

Posting on the forums: 5 minutes.
Making a thread: 20 minutes.
Claiming you are the alt of a banned account: Priceless.
For everything else, there's stosh.

How honestly sad is this, people can't find the money to have there own account or they want "unique armor". Tell me about -blam!- greedy fingers... Duardo I hope you find that F'er and show him what ya really got up your sleeve... Good luck and if anyone finds this Goofy little hacker i'll put a hack... saw in him for you lol j/k but good luck and you have my support...

Damn hackers piss me off..

Thats my 2 cents on this pathetic hacker life of miserable event.

Take care

Well I was just thinking...If someone stole his account, they now know that he has a second account with which he can alert the Ninjas. Wouldn't they steal his second account to ensure they keep the first one?

Meh, don't think too far into this. But I'll agitate you here. Maybe that is a fake account set up by Duardo to lure the hacker to come in and then Duardo can get him. Reverse Psychology.

I have another email address, completely different than my other one, and with a new email that no one knows except me. I'm good.

I have every faith in you that you have done everything right. The problem is there is one big weak link in all this you cannot eliminate...

this thing with recon is becoming to dangerous now i think Bungie should not post the names of the people who have recon and people who have it should not wear it while playing matchmaking hell now im thinking i dont want it any more since a lot of people have been hacked for it and even a moderator was hacked

That's like saying if you're rich but don't want to be robbed, never spend any of your money.

I agree the situation is getting out of hand, but it's a problem with Xbox Support. If they can shape up things should be fine.

Hi guys.

Someone is trying to hack (or crack) my account. I realized this at about 10 AM EST. I sent an email to my friend (in real life) Sword and Scales and told him about it. He posted this in my "Answers" thread and my "Member Title FAQ" thread. I replied with this:I'm not hacked yet (Thank God)...I need to call Xbox support.

Anyways, for some reason people have been assuming I have recon armor (which I don't...Sword knows). So someone send a msg to my MSN. I accepted. I assumed it was someone from the forums. Anyways, they said "Hi ____" (I'm not going to share my name on here). I said hi. We were having a conversation when they starting asking about Recon armor and how did I get it. I told them I don't have it, and I don't know how to get it. I told this person that someone killed himself with a cone, and another with his own sniper bullet. But I didn't know how to actually get it. They then asked how long my credit card number was....that's when i stopped.

I have since changed my password and will most likely change other things as well.

So if I ever start posting spam, it's not me.

-Duardo


That's basically my story. Just now though, I tried logging in and it said that I had tried too many times today trying to log in with my email address. I knew it was the hacker. It never takes me more than twice to log in (sometimes I miss a letter).

I'm going to call Xbox Support now, but I just wanted to let you guys know that if I start posting spam, it's not me.

-Duardo

P.S. I DON'T HAVE RECON ARMOR!!!
Set an alternate email address for your Windows Live ID. Sign out and click forgot password. From there, enter the email address you think may be in the process of getting hacked. Select continue and then send an email confirmation to your alternate email address. If you do this, your account is safe because even if a hacker steals your account and changes your password, you would just go to that alternate email and click the password reset link to override his action of unauthorized access. I believe the link expires after three days so it is suggested to do it every other day if you wish to keep your account secure until the issue at hand is resolved or the hacker is caught.

FYI.. I read the entire post, comprehended the little girls crying about nothing, learned that stupidity is contagious, live it every day on these forums, and love pointing it out to people like you. : o

Just change password?
Also: Where did it say you had tried to log in too many times today?
I did change it.

It said as I was signing in on here. It was in the gray box area where we all sign in. I had to re-input my password, then verify it with an image with letters.


Watch for phishing sites... this is how your password gets stolen.

Over at HFCS we're constantly hard...

Wait...
What?

Dang! Now these guys aren't just targeting Pro's and those with Recon, but regular community members too. Scary Stuff! Now I'm scared for my safety! *Changes Passwords* What the hell is wrong with these people? What exactly do they prove or even earn by stealing people's accounts? Even more importantly, why aren't they being punished?


PS I know this was brought up a while ago, and may have been clarified, but the email address that you can make visible here on the forums doesn't have to be the same as your WLID email. Mine, for example, is the email for my "junk account".

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

Get a backup account and notify some Ninja's it is really yours. Then, if you do lose your account, you can inform us and we can act without hesitation and know what is going on.

I'm sorry to hear about this - losing control of your account is a scary moment.

I couldn't agree more. Duardo, as another person who has experienced this, I would highly suggest unlinking your gamertag; and link it to an unknown email; never give it out. Then, make a new MSN account, that has a seperate WLID than your B.Net or gamertag. Then, change the email on your Bungie.Net profile to an unknown email. This is what I have done; and it seems to work. All that I can suggest is that you check the box next to 'Change password every 72 days'. This will help immensely. I hate to see this happen to someone else, it sucked bad enough when it happened to Pezz, Ash, and myself; I would hate to see someone else go through the same crap us three had to.

Sorry I can't offer any more help Duardo, I truly hope you get this worked out. If you need anything, contact me.

No problem, sad thing is though, somebody here is the culprit...No its not me either! Lets not start blaming each other, it was just a loser who barely ever visits these forums.

"Hacked Account Support Hotline" for Bnet in the works yet?

Seriously though, sorry to hear about that. I'm just glad I'm not prominent enough in this community to warrant people hacking my accounts. :)

SORRY BUT NO, asking an online generator to make a password, (password) for you seems stupid, y would you trust an online generator, it could be a hackers personal site. To me that just sounds stupid, and hope everything works out for that guy thats getting hacked.

  • 02.28.2008 9:31 PM PDT

HALO:
IT ISNT CHOPPY ENOUGH
IT ISNT DAKKA ENOUGH

far out.....

to protect your xbl account you can secure the password, change the email that is attached and attach a password to loggin in
