Huge Issue

From what I've read what they do is add you over xbox live,send you messages asking if you are male/female & your age & then give you a link to a sex site.

If your dumb enough to go to that site that's where they'll try & get some details from you.

They can't do it over xbox live unless someone is stupid enough to give out their details.

OMGoth! Happened to me today! Just like the OP said - some random with ZERO gamerscore and a disproportionate amount of "friends" tried juicing me for info! Should apologize to the OP because I doubted the likelihood of outsiders crashing my party! Obviously
I didn't reply but now that I've deleted all of *its* conversations, I have nothing to report :/ Once bitten twice shy, then ^_0

Unlikely. If someone tries to sign into your account from another country or a foreign device or a device which is over 100km from your normal usage, Microsoft sends a verification code TO YOUR SMARTPHONE number, and you have to enter in the correct password
and email, before they can access your account. It is almost impossible, to get that verification number, if you don't have it. I'm with Vodafone and they know there is only ONE device which has access to my number, and that's my smartphone which is next to
me.

Also, if there are any unauthorized withdrawals, your bank will Reverse Transaction those. There are laws in place for this. Microsoft regularly updates their software anyways. And no one has been successfully able to hack Xbox Live for other people's info.

Yeah,whatever you do don't trust your bank with your personal & financial info.

lol, a bank is where most people 1st set up their personal finances. But by your logic, if ya can't trust Microsoft with your financial info, then you can't trust banks either eh.

A little salt for the Popcorn.
