DOES THIS MEAN HALO 3 IS MADE BY BUNGIE?!?

i mean seriously this is like, the only forum that has a little bit of trolls. seriously why?
It's not, man. Every forum has trolls. With a high profile game like Halo, the pool of people to target is much larger, whether it be to force rage or to actually cause harm. Look for less and less of that here now that the Halo business isn't handled here. Always be careful, though. Vary up passwords, email addresses, use security verification techniques, etc. I work on encryption and security a lot on the side, and you'd be surprised how often these things happen through simple methods.
This, and you weren't "hacked", OP, you were stupid enough to give him your password. That's not hacking. That's you being a dumbass.
I'm not sure you realize how most of these happen. Most of these "hackers" (They don't really hack at all) are using the features used to help a user regain access to their accounts. That's why you should never use easily accessible information or pre-made security questions. That said, he probably didn't give them his password, it was probably just done using social engineering.
