Here's what you need too do OP (make sure you do this in order!)

1) Go to Bungie and steal DeeJ's stapler.
2) Use his stapler as leverage so he can call 343i to ask them to call in a tactical MAC round on the hackers home.
3) Carry on with life.


Or

You could just post this over at 343i's website if what you say is true. Because coming on here and crying about it won't help you.

This should help, and I respect you for being the first helpful post.

Falling for a phish, giving out your personal infomation, or letting someone on your GT is not getting hacked.

A real hacker would not waste their time with some random kids XBL account.

I don't think he got hacked either since he can see how many Cr he lost which means he still has his gt.

New Zealand is pretty much the best place in the world.

I thought hacking an account was virtually impossible without the password? So you have to be stupid enough to give it out or make it really easy to guess at, is that how they take accounts? I think I'm missing something then because you aren't getting hacked you are just giving your account away do to your stupidity at least thats what I'm gathering... Maybe I'm wrong IDK?

No, you're right. 'Hacking' is just social networking in these cases.

So...what? You think they're going to give them back to you?

Actually there is a way for a guy who has played a game with you and has the necessary equipment to steal your account using only the data he got from being connected to the same game.

I don't understand how it works, but it is possible and it doesn't involve any passwords.

it probably has to do with IP and XBL session/cookie information being intercepted and then spoofing their own login with that session/cookie info.

Let's be realistic here. The only possible reasons why that could happen is if the OP trash talked so much that he had it coming to him, or he was bragging about the amount of credits he had. And even at that, why waste time with XBOX Live cookies? There's much more valuable cookies being broadcasted all the time that could do worse than steal someones virtual credits.

Either way, he probably deserved it, and nobody is going to give him back the credits.

Not necessarily

I remember accidentally getting into a lobby of cheaters that a guy on my friends list was playing with and one of them was discussing with the other cheaters that he was going to steal a random's account because that player had betrayed him with sniper when he was about to get a sword overkill.

Someone with that power open to them might just do it because they can.

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

Your at colonel grade 2 - which means you've gotten 1,100,000 if you did not spend anything since you started playing reach. How would a hacker steal credits that were not even there op? You probably just think the game is taking too long and want to speed up the proccess.
