Over the past several months Xbox Live accounts (including mine) have been getting hacked en masse. Once the hacker has taken control of the victim’s account, they’re buying up as many Microsoft Points as they can, and spending them all on in game currency for FIFA 11 or FIFA 12. Then, from within their FIFA game of choice, the hacker buys up items for FIFA Ultimate Team, and presumably sends those items off to their personal XBL account.
This article provides two simple solutions MS should absolutely be using to protect its users from hackers.
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
One of the most popular versions of the title is available on Nintendo Switch and it just got even better. The Bedrock version of Minecraft just released for Nintendo Switch, both digitally on the Nintendo eShop and as a physical release.
Wow! First the minecraft play together video, then twitter and now this. What's next?
I don't want any intrusive Xbox stuff on my Playstation ecosystem. I understand that when you are surviving in the market you need to do things you may not like to survive. Sony is not on this position so it doesn't need to help the competition to survive.
A console without exclusive tied with a mini console without 3rd party and still beaten by THE KING
Losers are trying their best to gain a little momentum
just make games instead of this ridiculous gimmicky features
Has everyone completely forgotten Blinx?
Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own
Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!
"hacked en masse."
That's funny, I haven't heard anything about this. Can you provide any additional proof of this mass hacking, I mean aside from your own personal experience? This story has piqued my interest.
Start with IE please, as it sucks to work with at all as a developer as it follows no standards and is just a giant turd.
Hackers have to be the cheapest, laziest bunch of losers in the world. Here are people with the skills to get great jobs somewhere in the world, and instead of using those skills for something productive, they have to make people's lives miserable by stealing money from them for video game crap. Seriously? You're telling me that you can spend money on an expensive computer that you use to hack, but you can't spare a few bucks for a game and some DLC? *sigh* Hackers are talented morons.
These things happen all the time. Keep an eye peeled on your stuff people. Sony is not the only one this stuff happens too.
Nobody hacks people on XBL, if anything it's phishing that is a problem, which if that is the case, don't be stupid where you put in your passwords.
Been a XBL user for almost six years and I've never had any issues.
