Hacked

[PrimaVita]

Has anyone ever met a person on X-box live that claimed to be part of the MS DEV team to get your password from you?

 

[Kogarian]

No. But I don't spend much time on XBL anymore.

 

[ellimist337]

I have not personally but I've heard stories. Avoid them at all costs for those who didn't realize that already.

 

[PrimaVita]

Yeah. Learned too late.

I get the random friend request. That's about it.

yea I have people tell ing me to give up my password and other info to get ms points but I mean people to sht like this all the time

 

[Flap Jack452]

Well, if I get beaten badly, I often say that my father is Bill Gates and I'll get them kicked off of Xbox Live, sad thing is most of the people believe me.

I got a person who asked me for a password to boost my account. But other than that, no.

Okay, how do people fall for this? Microsoft has complete control over Xbox Live. They can check your password at will along with any other information on your profile. Why would they ever need to ask you for it?

Xbox Live is dumb and will believe just about anything you tell it.

Phishing is really ewasy to do, but just remember that any company worth anything will contact you
over email or phone, and if they can actually not find your password by themselves, then you should jump ship before things come crashing down from the incompetence.

One fun thing to do is to crinkle paper by a headset microphone and speak in garbled giberish.
