Can something be done about my warranty?

The warranty on my controller expired 3 weeks ago and i have only now needed to send it back for repairs. I was wondering if there was any sort of resolve to this situation. I have been a loyal customer for a number of years and i would be very disappointed if i had to purchase a new controller over such a minor fault and after spending £100 on this controller.

You can try contacting support to see if they can do anything, but typically if the warranty is expired there's nothing that can be done. http://support.xbox.com/contact-us

It does say at the web site for XBox and Playstation also.

That's PC and no, nothing can be done about it.

If you are worried about your IP address being taken, I suggestion buying a VPN router or, running a VPN service through your router.

Unfortunately there's not much that can be done in regards to a DDoS attack.

To be perfectly honest, the likelihood that they are getting your IP address is unlikely as Xbox is provided with a private IP address (provided by router).

You have 2 IP addresses, one public and one private, The public IP address is the IP address assigned to you by your ISP.

In the instance it is happening, there are a few things you can do to prevent it. Like applying a filter to your router to drop packets from a specific address that you can obtain using specific networking
software.

However, I'm not able to provide the information as it's not really an Xbox issue, I can only give advice and point in a right direction.

I hope this information has somewhat helped.
