no idea about large scale, but there are people with 100% banned consoles playing right now on banned accounts. Microsoft knows of it, and every update blocks the new exploits, but even they know they can't stop everyone, and obviously they don't really care.

That's completely different. It's like comparing shoplifting to bank robbery.

both effect the flow of money, both have a different level effect, but they both effect the same thing.

It's quite different. Breaches at the root level are far more serious that breaches at the user level. It's a security nightmare when a root account is hacked, not so much when a user account is hacked.

Well, wouldnt being about to play a banned console on a network be a high level security breach? It would mean that a user is tapping into the network's mySQL databases and reworking them to ignore their console's banned status. That is kind of a higher level hack no matter how your looking at it because they are injecting the network with a bypass script.

ya, lets throw technical lingo out and hope people are idiots and dont have a clue what they are saying! brilliant, typical TV....

If that system is isolated to the gaming components, the I would consider it less serious than something that compromises personal data or purchasing systems.

well, I think that the banned consoles can purchase things off the marketplace... but thats about it.

Still if a user can get into the mySQL databases with a script injection they could easily recode it to steal data as well.

Are you speculating or do you have actual evidence as to what risk is posed?

ya... i really think she was meaning a full gui interface, not a popup with a button that probably isn't properly coded to track ips because VB is extremely limited.
