MS lied about the failrate of the 360 in public statements I wouldn't be surprised if they were covering up a hack seeing how much revenue they get from live

Even if they pulled a sony and didn't tell anyone, there is noway they would keep xbox live up and running if a breach had occurred. That would just be crazy.

Sony did tell people... Someone is biased and if MS was covering it up taking the network down is the last thing they'd do 

Microsoft is not gonna allow hackers full access to their network just because they want to cover it up. If the hackers got in then there is a security hole and microsoft will take the network down to avoid further damage. It has nothing to do with bias, thats just what any company would do. (same thing that sony did).

MS took  like 5 years to completely and properly redesign the 360 to get rid of it's insanely high failrate so I sincerely doubt they'd shut down to fix their network especially since they get money from it, they'd proabably just try to patch it without taking it down until their schedualed maintainance (which isn't that far away I believe)

 

You see, now your just being a crazy fanboy. One thing has nothing to do with the other. Microsoft constantly improved the 360's motherboard to improve the failure rate before the Slim 360 was released. You make it sound as if they sat on their ass for 5 years before doing anything.

 

And secondly, are you aware that XBL did not get hacked at all? It was some 3'rd party site and Lulzsec just told people to try their luck to see if they matched those of XBL.

Constantly but extrmely slowly and most of the changes were to reduce cost more then fix the failrate and I'm not believing MSes word for a second they lied to us before they'll lie again so unless you have other evidence that live wasn't hacked  let me know, and isn't all the other sites they put passwords for intergreated in xbl?

Proof is in the thread itself.  A third party side got hacked not XBL.  Paypal is also affected.

Correction a third party got hacked not PAYPAL, nothing in there says live  wasn't hacked, xbl could be the third party, they just started including paypal

Sounds to me like you just desperately want it to be xbl. Maybe one day you're dreams will come true but its not today.

Its most likely they got it from phishing. If Xbox live would have gotten hacked the list would be millions not 62,000

I wonder how that guy came up with that alternative account name, seems like he just threw his hamster on the keyboard and hoped for the best.

Hackers are getting pretty annoying, not to a point where I'd be riling up a posse to go hunt them down and shove their balls down their throats, but still it's sort of getting "Meh" hacking and just well, being annoying in general, it's like a giant fly.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Actually I'm just looking at it objectively ignoring MSes statement, everything that is there is linked to xbl facebook, paypal, ect. the guys said he hacked xbl, there have been more damages to xbl users from this in one day then there was from the psn hack, and as far as I know not one of those accounts listed has the wrong password (which would of happened if it was phising and I doubt they checked them all)

Lol.. people getting their accounts hacked on xbl is nothing new. Thats been going on for years. On any given day somebody has probably got their account jacked. That doesn't mean the network was hacked. 

Noone is accusing MS of being a great company. I don't think they care about their customers, hell I don't think they even care about their reputation but they do care about their bottom line. When xbl is hacked you will know because it will go offline.

LULZ loves the attention not the first hack he lied about. I bet most of the hacks he been taking responsibility for was hacked by some Anon and he's dumb enough to say he did it. Just making himself into a target for everyone.



Anyone who's breaking the law is obvious a criminal.

I see it as jibity jabity ju, which is something that appears to be more than random, although it could have been a hamster as well...however, it's not like he's going to be able to use it for long anyways, right?

I skimmed through the accounts list, and some people had "password" as their password. They were asking for it.

Xbox Live didn't get hacked....this is the result of phishing and website hacks like Epic's website where the passord for that was the same as their Xbox Live password.
