Ip address hacked while playing fortnite???

J-J0217 · Feb 20, 2019

My son was playing fortnite with his friends earlier when he said that someone joined their party and said that he was going to hack into our router if he didnt give all his weapons ect. My son said no and the next thing our internet was off and kept turning
off untill i managed to phone my internet provider fir advice. My son is too scared to go on fortnite again just incase this happens again. Does this happen alot??

Hello!

Thanks for reaching out to us with this situation. I understand you're experiencing a Denial of Service attack.

DoS and DDoS attacks on Xbox One FAQ. Take a look at this helpful information on how to react to this. And just as mentioned earlier make sure you report and block the player so this may be investigated by the Xbox Live Policy Enforcement Team. Hope this
helps!

DDoS attacks are illegal and could result in jail time for the person doing it. If you are the victim of an attack please unplug your modem/router for 5 seconds to reset it. After that contact your ISP and let them know about the attacks and request
an IP Address change. They will investigate the attacks from their end.

As for the person that's doing this, please be sure to report them by going to their bio and selecting Report or Block and follow the instructions provided. The PET will get this report and investigate the claim then take any necessary actions on the
account.

Actually you can get peoples ip address while playing on xbox and I wont go into that. So you are wrong. If that person hacked the OP then MS can be held to legal issue. Our ip should not be shown at all while playing.

FYI, this is called a DDOS attack. It's not a "Hack".
