This guy seems to know what he's talking about. The logins were not taken from Microsoft. There are Yahoo emails addresses, Gmail addresses and all other variants of the email spectrum in this list. The list will just be from a site that uses your email for a login and the people with thier Live accounts affected would just be the people who use the same password for everything.socialtangent said:Lulzsec did not hack Xbox Live or Microsoft. If you've been following their Twitter feed, they are supposedly off "for the weekend". Not to mention that the passwords and emails they've posted are from entirely random websites. Even Lulzsec has admitted that they don't know what sites they're from, or if they even work. In addition, Major Nelson himself has confirmed that there is no breach of Xbox Live. Finally, if Lulzsec did hack Microsoft/Xbox Live, you bet they'd be making Tweets about it. They're pretty public about what they do.
I wouldn't be that easy-going. You'd still need to make sure they didn't get your email account and password.PoisonUnagi said:Awesome, can't wait until they do this and I go onto the list and say EYYYY, THERE'S MINE ^^ and then just leave.Irridium said:If you use Steam Guard you should be fine.Grey Walker said:Well I guess this means Steam'll be next on their list, they've hit all the console devs.

Wait, so do you have a problem with the DRM that EA put onto retail (Read: Physical) copies of Darkspore? A game that, in single-player, literally cannot be played unless you have a constant internet connection 100% of the time?Stormz said:Though you can't change my opinion, I would also like to add to that list people who don't have internet, and before you say anything. I know people without internet or really slow internet. People who DON'T have it may want to play that knew retail game they thought they could play only to find out it's impossible because it requires the internet to download.
Bluray movies also come in dvd form so that doesn't even work. With steam you don't get a choice to just use the old cd key method.
Thanks man, you're a life saver!!! Mmmmm. Looks like I'm clean thank the makerRaiyan 1.0 said:http://lulzsecurity.com/releases/62000_random_logins.txtAMMO Kid said:Do you have the list? Could you look for me on there if I told you my name?dancinginfernal said:Just checked the list, I'm safe.
For now.
Do a Ctrl+F and look for your email address.
Here here.zehydra said:While Lulzsec already knows this, they are doing one thing right. That is, they're throwing themselves onto the traintracks, because when they finally get caught, they're going to have their ass handed to them in court.
Perhaps this group could lead to the creation of an actually competent national cyber-security force.
I'm not trying to condone their actions at all, it's just that, considering how much they've been able to do, this all could've been A HELL OF A LOT WORSE.
Thanks!KingsGambit said:Yeah it is mate, same service. :-\ The whole "Live" brand (including Live Messenger for example) shares that info.redmarine said:Well, is Games for Windows account and XBox Live accounts the same? If so, I might as well change my password.
Just checked and followed a link. This site [http://dazzlepod.com/lulzsec/] has a list of compromised addresses so is probably well worth a check for anyone to see if they have been affected.
