Subject: A cheater is threating to hack my account

Don't be sad if a pastor kills you, maybe he will do your funeral for free

So this guy cheated against me last night. He was rolling with his standby crew and after we easily scored in the first round of assault they started standbying. So he is dumb enough to cheat and have a bungie id attached so I messaged him letting him know cheating is dumb and he is going to get banned. Now he keeps messaging me telling me he is going to Hijack my account.
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStats.aspx?gameID=612298461&a mp;player=lXl%20CMA%20lXl

Here are the two messages he has sent me
His bungie login is FARID
message one

try u little girl stop wining its a damn game ight so try to threaten me il juss steal ur account

message two

hey good job but thats y im still higher than u and if u had a life u wouldnt go threw all this hassle u loser and about the spelling ur prolly still in school wit your little glasses on and cant get no booty(censored) but hey if u noitced i wasnt the one cheating halo pro was so get it str8 and if u still want ur account i suggest u start shuting up


So my first question is it a banable offense to threaten to do what he is doing? If so who do I report this to?

Second are such things even possible? Or is he just a dumb 12 year old hoping I will not report and expose him and his crew for cheating?

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

You should report him to Xbox.com if he threatens you. They'll take care of it. And I don't think you should worry about him stealing your accoutn, so long as your careful.

Do not panic, or you will fail.

Well, it is kind of hard to tell in these situations. I would just send a PM to Achronos explaining your situation, and letting him deal with it from there. And possibly sending a report to xbox.com. And block him from PMing you. He may just be trying to get inside your head.

For the messages themselves? I'm not quite sure...I suppose a mod might see this and take actions, but I can't promise anything. As for the cheating part, do whatever you can. Send an e-mail to h2cheats@microsoft.net (or something like that), send cheating feedback...just make sure you don't report him here.

For the second set of questions, so long as you don't tell him your e-mail address and password, or at least not your e-mail address, you'll be fine. Achronos prides himself with having an unhackable website.

After seeing FARID's account, I would say he is just trying to get inside your head. He writes his profile in all caps, and that is just plain annoying all in its self. Just do what I said and block him and your problems should be over.

I am not intimidated by someone who cant even spell. I just wondered if any of that had even ever happened to anyone. Hopefully Achronos will give a response and enlighten me on how to handle this. I already sent the email to h2cheats@microsoft.com and I reported his party to halo2cheaters.com So I am just trusting the system to work.

I think he's threatening to steal his LIVE account, not his Bungie account.

yeah that might be what he is saying he will do, but he is making the threat through bungie's site. Which makes it somewhat a bungie issue

  • 12.08.2006 8:49 PM PDT

Ach! Was ist los?

As long as you keep your password and whatnot to yourself, he can't do a damn thing to you.

PM Achronos and ask for him to administer a smiting if you haven't already.

  • 12.08.2006 8:55 PM PDT

I'm soo glad i don't play halo 2 anymore.

I PMed Achronos briefly what is happening and sent him with a link to the forum so he can read the longer.

it doesn't matter if he can hack the MS passport system. Not like it's hard to make a new account.

And he can't hack the Bungie forums. Thats literally impossible....

I'd go with the latter, he probably can't even spell hack let alone manage to do it. Just make sure your secret question to your password for your e-mail is, well, secret. I've known a lot of people who just put extremely obvious answers thinking they don't mean anything and then claim their account was "hacked".

Bob is right, keep your password to yourself and you won't face any problems. And anyone can press the standby button on a router, that doesn't mean they can hack into Microsoft secure servers.

Regardless, either contact Achronos or myself and I will have the matter resolved.

Just to let you know, It is very possible for someone to steal your account. It just takes some ceratin kinds of programs on the computer and no social life.

This has happened to a few people i know, All the other person needs is your ip address and they can use ceratin programs to get your account on there xbox.

This has also happened to MLG Proffesional : Walshy, as well as some other pro's.

Someone said the same thing to me once so i did some research and found that it is indeed possible.

Don't worry, as the mods said, he can't do a thing without a password.

  • 12.09.2006 9:23 PM PDT

We aren't hearing the full story on this one.

Treat the cheater with respect and hopefully he'll spare you and your account. Otherwise you're just asking for it, and I wouldn't feel sorry at all if he hacked you.

Hard to believe that someone who uses the term "u" has the ability to steal your account.....


Empty threats.

So now he is contrediction(sp?) himself. Interesting. You can tell now that all of his threats are meaningless.

First of all, I wish to say that, without exaggeration, that dude must have literally been eleven or younger, or just light up top...

Anyway, he can't log on to your account without the password (can he?), so I don't think you should worry....emphasis on think.

It's bannable, I suppose, but you don't really have proof, desipte the extremely high likihood you aren't lying.
