Hey Ladies I need Your Help

[arCtiC vBi]

Please join our effort to make the security better for XBL. If you all haven't heard, our teammate Skyllus vBi had his account hacked and stolen because of the Recon Armor he received on Halo 3 via Bungie. Here is the article on Joystiq:

Please continue to email Techcrunch (http://www.techcrunch.com) at editor@techcrunch.com to get this story published there too. I promise I won't stop until some type of action is performed on Microsoft's part.

Yes there are a few threads about this now. This hacker or hackers MUST be stopped. I would be extremely angry if some stubborn loser got mad like that

Hey Arctic, I read the post about Skyllus's XBL account being stolen on here, and furthermore the posts at the various sites you have linked to.
Microsoft has some serious issues with security.. I tested out a theory I had on the subject, and was able to obtain enough information to be able to "steal" my own account, just by calling in twice..

I have had everything from my XBL, msn, email, steam, etc., stolen from me before, so I know what he is going through. It sucks, but it'll get worked out eventually.

Edit: your Joystiq link appears to be.. not working? Or is it just a "search for terms: '...' " link?

Good luck,
-Rai

Yes Raiden's right it's ehhhh.... it just comes up to a search page pretty much.

I'm still highly encouraging everyone to email Techcrunch (http://www.techcrunch.com) at email@techcrunch.com to have them post this story.

I've read about this already. I know people who have gotten their accounts stolen and it is a pain to get them back. The worst thing about it is, that when you cll 18004MyXbox, they always say that it is impossible to steal accounts. That is complete crap. It is just like OGRE1 , 2, and Walshy getting their accounts stolen numerous times in Halo 2. I'll email TechCrunch. This NEEDS to be fixed.

Yes and I am seriously tired of calling a live agent for Xbox and getting some Indian guy that says "Hello sir how may I be helping you today" I am REALLY getting tired of that... there was only ONE single time I got a normal english speaking girl that actually sounded smart.....

Ill post in the pms divisions section for ya to spread it a lil more

[...Kanocode...]

Wow man, That's a crazy story, I'd be seriously mad if someone did do that to me.
It's sad that some people would stoop down to that Level.
Hopefully things work out for the victim.

[KaRnAge]

Yeah its not that hard to do I tried it on my brothers account and I got all of our information. This is really easy to do Microsoft needs to put down more security

[FearFromWithin]

lol yea calling 18004myxbox is pointless, you always get someone that can barely speak english .. but thats messed up dude, wonder why they didnt steal that guy who killed himself with the street cone

My account was taken while celebrating New Years (yeah he was jacking my account for new years). My new tag is "arC vBi" at the moment. My old one is locked and pending investigation...all of this because I want some justice. Oh well I wish for the worst possible things to happen to this o InFamous o group.

this is bs someone has to do something. this is terrrible imma talk to some of my friends at microsoft and see if they have heard anything.

All for armor? People get so sick and twisted because someone has something they don't. I semi-understand material things, but armor in a video game? I hope they are caught and given some form of treatment. I am sorry you and your friends have to be going through this, the best thing to do until they figure out something is to have them lock the credit cards or your account, and if you think they will still use it call your credit card holders. Microsoft needs a better system going on...BADLY

Good Luck
