Xbox Live phished/hacked/somethinged

[randombs]

What I say is that, at a time when negotiations are still going on, these strikes are wrong.

(also, last day of XBL today )

Done with it. Does anyone know of any gaming forum that isn't ****e? Might see you there one day.

Not unless you have a time machine, I'm aphraid.

Were a lot of posts removed? I seem to have missed out on some phun.

Also, can we start using the term "phisting" instead of "phishing"? Or maybe even "pishing"?

[randombs]

I'd be fine with that until I got phished myself. Wouldn't want to refer to it as phisting then, it'd be too awkward. What about bummed? Thousands of XBL users got bummed?

Bummed is usually a good one, and actually features in my daily vocabulary... however it's missing a 'ph'.

Not as far as I can see. I think people just don't like it when the posts of others don't back up their world view, perhaps? Well, I'm off to post on Dogg's Board For Dogg. Everyone who posts there agrees with me on everything.

Oh, and a big LOL for 'phisting'. Class, Billy. Thread of Kings.

These strikes were wrong at a time when negotiations were taking place.

This has made my morning!

Wrong thread? What strikes? What are we talking about? I thought this was about XBL... Did I miss the joke?

[Dogg Thang]

Google it. Then watch it on YouTube for some hilarity.

Wow. Really, just wow.

You two have got your knickers in such a twist over this thread that you've actually managed to vanish up your own arses about any innocuous comment.

Add me to the list of people done with this thread. It's now insanity of the highest order and I'm too busy at the moment to put up with this level of lunacy.

Lol. We're having a joke. The only people who have their knickers in a twist are the MS fanbois. Everyone else is here for either answers or having a joke. Or both.

But then anyone who doesn't toe the MS PR line is a conspiracy theorist. Lol.

I did - well I didn't because Skull Commander posted it but it was.

My xbox Live got phished/hacked/somethinged today. It was showing up I was online in Spain when my wife logged into her account. Lots of purchases were made on FIFA 12 using the MS points I got for Xmas!

Phoned Xbox support and after a few checks he said he was passing it over to the fraud department and my account would be locked for 3 weeks by which time someone would get back to me.

[randombs]

Judging by what's been said on here and elsewhere, don't take their mention of locking your account as a given. Try logging in later on and over the next few days and, if you are able, call them and tell them.

[Matt]

I overheard an employee at a cinema telling his friends his account was just hacked.

Just walked up to him and told him to suck it up *



* that last bit isn't true.

[Dogg Thang]

Should have made him a tin foil hat.
