Make sure the password includes numbers and letters. And mix it up a bit. To make the best password, max out the characters that can be used! This will assure the safest password you can use. But you can never be 100% safe from hackers!

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Good stuff. I guess it also couldn't hurt to change your password every now and again as was previously mentioned in this thread.

And if the hacker changes the Windows LIVE ID associated with the gamertag?

Then I guess you're screwed...

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

They will, they change everything in the account eventually but they do certain things first. Like changing password and name of the account. Once this is done it is very hard to find your account and harder to be able to get it back. Then they will remove all the friends so if you have freinds on there they can not tell you the new name. Only xbox can. After everything is done they will do the simplest step changing the windows live ID. Once this has happen the account is lost, the only thing that can be done is by calling microsoft giving them either the credit card or 1/3 month card you used to activate the account. With this they will lock the account, wich will make no one able to use it. All the information on it will be stored but it will never be accessed again. That is why you must act very quickly.

Also it helps greatly as i said earlier to integrate both numbers and letters into your password. To make it even stronger make some letters capital and some lowercase. This ensures a strong password. To make it the strongest max out the characters that can be used. Make sure it is something you can remember; since using a password you can't remember doesn't make sense. Also do this for your email address. Add numbers and capitals and lowercase letters. if you want to know how strong your password it check it out Here!

As well as what problackmagic just wrote when you reset your password it tells you if your password is eassy medium or hard!

I don't know if this has been mentioned but there is an easy way to find out what your account has been changed to providing you play halo 3. All you need to know is the gamertag of a friend you have played with on a regular basis. By looking at the game history of the their account you can find games that you played in and the gamertag will now show it's new name however the original name will still be shown under field stats killed and killed by.

this is a great tut exept for one thing. You said that they lock your account and you can not get it back. This is false. My account was hacked while i was gone for a couple days. So when i got back we called support. Now this will only work if you have a credit card on the account. What you do is give all the info that was listed in the first post and also the credit card number. This shows them that is infact your account. Now also i would recomens getting a parent involved because the people will take it more serious. Also they will say they will contact you within 2 weeks. If they do not keep calling. In our case they did not contact us because the case was sent directly to microsoft. So thats my ad on to this.
