I have heard about people who recive recon. This could be slowed and stopped if you do not post the gamertags of those who recive Recon. Recon is the best thing you can recive on halo and it is unfair to those who recive it and have there accounts stole.

I think I understand.

You have head about peoples accounts being hacked though social engineering just because they have the recon Helmet.
This can be slowed or halted by bungie not posting the gamertags/names of the users who have received the recon.


This is a valid point but the people who get recon will still wear it. People will still record their names and still try to hack them.

You have come up with step one in preventing recon account hacks, the rest it up to MS/XBL customer support.

That is true but its wont happen as quickly and mabey it wont happen at all. From what i hae been told, accountjacking is really easy. Mabey bungie/xboxlive should do a live id/gamertage security update to stop account stealing.

The thing is this, what people are doing is called "Social Engineering", it evolves people "tricking" the XBL support or windows live / MS support people into thinking you are the person who's account you are taking over. I cant really get into the details as it is kinda not something you want to teach people. Getting the gamertag is the easy part, the rest is out of bungie's control.
