Why does everyone pretend the time a hacker got peoples xbl account, pw and linked accounts and pw and posted on twiter? CCs, xbl points and paypal accounts were compromised, but since MS denied it and live didn't go down everyone is ignoring it, pretty sad, not to mention actual credit card companies that got hacked, seems everyone is slave to media

You mean the hacker who hacked one account and put the information on Twitter because he was banned 35 times on Xbox live and wanted to take revenge?

Nope the one with 60,000+ accounts and linked accounts posted and their pws posted  by a hacker.

Can you provide a link to this? That way I can print the evidence and use it to slap the shit out of my friend in our C++ class next week.

MS said  they didn't detect any hackers on their system but most of the services are linked to xbl and if it was phising there would be some ps3 pw's in it, not to mention that the group is hackers.

Real story:

Fresh off their face-kicking of the CIA's website, LulzSec just decided to go with something a little less political: a 60k+ set of login info for... they won't say. But they're encouraging everyone to try 'em out across the web.

So far, eager downloaders have been retweeting claimed prizes of pilfered WoW, PayPal, porn, and Gmail accounts. Lulz hasn't said where they got the data, or what it's good for—instead, they're just encouraging their retinue to "Be creative instead of being a potato. Try PayPal combinations, twitter, Facebook, eBay, Runescape. Pick a target from the list."

It's an exciting day for the group and their fans. Unless your PayPal account just got jacked, in which case you are probably feeling lulz-deficient at the moment. I think it may be safe to say that LulzSec has officially supplanted Anon as the preeminent internet force of thunderous chaos for the time being. [LulzSec]

Update: Hacker News quotes Mikko Hypponen of security firm F-Secure, who bets the leak's origin is the user database of writerspace.com, an obscure, 90s-looking "Website for Writers." Why? Many of the passwords reference books, reading, or "writerspace" itself.

Summary:  They got 62.000 account ,  from where nobody had an idea,  they had a list with hundreds of sites/services where the account+ password could work on, someone mentions 'maybe it is from Xbox live'  =>  Gamesites read that and make an newspost with 'Xbox live hacked?'   That is the real story. 

I know you want to make xbox live look bad but you are trying to hard and with this I am going to report you for stupidity.

 

Welp, guess I'll just have to slap the shit out of him with my bare hand. That smug bastard......
