Some people don't realise this and if there Xbox 360 gets the 3 RROD then they take it back to the shop for another one. The problem with this is that the owner of the Gamertag will never know the Serial Number.

All though to recover it I say that there should be some security like another security answer which differs from the Windows Live ID one.

40 DOLLARS?!?!

I think if this isn't common sense to some people, they deserve getting their account stolen... Kind of like natural selection on an xbox level... Only the most fit to play will lol... Good post though for all those less fit gamers.

Next, here is a good guide to creating a strong password. In essence, passwords should be at least 8 characters long, and more if you can remember it. Passwords should contain a variety of upper-case letters, lower-case letters, numbers, and punctuation/symbols. The best passwords are random jumbles of these various types of characters (example: g9@R5\8w).


Random jumbles are best but alot of people think they'll forget them. It can be harder than remembering the letters half the time but I've come up with a system I use, rather than memorize the password i memorize the position on the keyboard (ex: third row up, fith key to the right would be F). Going along with this I can have a random jumble of letters and still an easy way to remember them.

Great information. I also don't link my gamertag with my Bungie.net profile. I think this is another smart move.

IB. The bane of my existence.

Well, I think I'm going to go change my security question and password now.

Thanks Foman.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

To play or not to play....

This should be pinned it is awesome. thanks Foman that was actually pretty good and I seriously think you should put it where people can find it easily.

Another point you might want to add is do not fall for the trick "I can give you recon or a 50 if you give me access to your account"

Basiaclly that is a common scam and suprisingly one many, many people fall for. Essentially someone promises to get you something special if you just lend them your account to do it. The only special you witness though is the special feeling of being scammed when your account is not returned.

I think many of your other points come into play here such as not giving out your password to anyone and not allowing anyone to access your account when you are not around (good point as well). But this particular scam is so common it may warrant special note.

ps: Why do I feel I might regret replying?

Thank God! Someone who actually sources their information!
Perhaps this should be sticked, either here or in the flood.
Other than that good overall information, thanks for the effort you have put into helping others.

good post foman, and thanks for stating the obvious.

Too bad most people won't realize what obvious is even if it is staring in its face and smashing them with a sledgehammer.

Foman i use to know u and u use to be on my list until i removed u but anyways if u really think u can protect ur acc fully ur false, xbl customer support is where its at all u need is a msg over xbl from a hacker and if u reply back they have ur ip

now ur ip can provide info about ur acc

with the ip address u can track down the exact location on where sum1 lives

boom thats done kay after that

any type of website the u post to like mlg or halocharts ppl can find ur name etc.

after that u get the persons name then myspace it

go to their top friends list and msg 1 of their friends saying ur friends with the person ur trying to hack

say to them oh "i know jim (ex.) and me and him use to know each other and i forgot his number bro can u tell me it?'

now u have thier info on where they live and thier name and u have contact with their friends

then u find their email which should b on their myspace

once u get the email it doesnt matter what ur password or secret question to secret answer is bc at passport reset u can change both of those topics

reset password and call xbl customer support and u pretty much have their info

and im not saying this to b a smart alek im saying it bc i wanna help

and foman123 believe or not 6months back there was this kid on xbl claiming to know all of predator5791's info to his acc.

u might say yeah right how does he know it

well when predator made that pic i died 4 recanz the guy with recon wasnt predators friend he was a hacker that hacked the recon, but when they made that pic the hacker got predators ip and all of his info, he started bladding about it in the party and he said he was gonna recover his acc when he got recon so

let predator know he needs to be careful

like i said im just saying ya know
