Microsoft 360 Hacked?

GameInformer

Hacker group LulzSec has released emails and passwords for some people's Xbox Live account info, among other sites and services.

The group dumped a list of 62,000 emails and passwords on a file sharing site (the list has been taken down multiple times) for accounts of sites and services like Xbox Live, PayPal, WOW, and much more (confirmed on LulzSec's Twitter, even). We've also had one poor reader tell us the credit card attached to his Xbox Live account has already been hit for $100 and the account's password changed.

Of course this is early on, but you might want to check on your accounts.

I think it comes down to a little more than being a fanboy at this point, it's going to start affecting more people. Seriously, the name calling just shows how ignorant you are. The thing is these hackers are starving for attention and with them getting info from hacks at Nintendo, Minecraft, EVE and Sony, it's getting more serious and I don't think anything is 100% safe anymore.

Here is MS response:

"This group appears to have posted a list of thousands of potential email addresses and passwords, and encouraged users to try them across various online sites like Xbox LIVE in the event one of the users happens to use the same password and email address combination. At this time we do not have any evidence Xbox LIVE has been compromised. However we take the security of our service seriously and work on an ongoing basis to improve it against evolving threats."
