wow such security,
MS should do the right thing and hire this kid out of high school.

Make him the lead designer of the Xbox Two, it will utterly destroy other consoles, handhelds, PCs, and smart devices.

Yeah. Some of the guys here get it. I own all of the systems. You can set up a password on your Wii U, PS3 (for internet access), Xbox 360, Vita, Xbox One, etc. to stop people from using your profile.

Example: My Vita is 0519, and my 360 is B,A,B,Y. My PS3 it's 7777. I just use these things to keep people from screwing with my saved games, viewing my browser history, or buying stuff with my saved credit card info. Now if somebody bypassed my code by typing some universal fail safe, I wouldn't say "they hacked it".

Xbox Live asks for your cell number, email adress, password, and other things and you can set that up for every time you log in if you want. It tells me "d21lewis was last logged in on another console" when I go from the living room to the gaming room. Hell, the Xbox One uses my face to log me in and if I pass the controller to my daughter, it logs her in. The security is top notch. What that kid did doesn't qualify as hacking, does it? And if it does, it's fixed now.

He'll receive 4 games?

The Xbox One doesn't even have 4 games he can play.

They misuse the word Xbox Live. He was playing games he wasnt supposed to be. Rated games. I own onne and use this so my  daughter doesnt play games she isnt supposed to.

Its not Xbox Live. Its a password to use his profile. Where no games are blocked. This works offline. Its essentially like locking your phone. Dont try and tell me I dont know how my Xbox One works.

Should of been what it said in the first place but hey you got clicks and comments

I still don't like it.  Maybe change it to "5 year old gets free Xbox One games".  That's the kind of message we want the public to see.  

You can act innocent about it but you specifically changed the title pezus to fit an agenda.  Multiple people said something about it.  Its fine, i saw this thread when you first put it up (in fact it was also submitted in XBO Nation before this thread) and chose to not comment about it, but you knew very well what you were doing.

The title of the article was always this from the website you got it from.  But that title was not good for Pezus.  In fact as many has pointed out, it didnt even have anything to do with Xbox Live, but had something to do with your account to sign in on your console.  Xbox Live being hacked and Your account being hacked are actualyl quite different things.  If your PSN ID got hacked it doesnt mean PSN (An entire Network) got hacked.

Article Title >>>> "5-year-old Ocean Beach boy exposes Microsoft Xbox vulnerability"    

Forza, NFS Rivals, Rayman Legends, Kinect Sports Rivals, PVZ Garden Warfare, 4 sports games, two lego games

A precise wording would be that he hacked a client and user account, but not the servers. He did it figuring out a default password to override his dad's one.
And the current thread title contains a typo that makes my eyes bleed!!! (But at least it doesn't make some butts bleed anymore!  )

Now that's what I'm talking about!

*cancels the mafia hit on the 5-year old*

Darn kid almost ruined everything.
