    What can I do about a threat on Xbox live?


    I’m just wondering if there’s anybody that has advice on what to do if somebody says online that they can take down your home network, I’m scared that I’ll lose it because we struggle to pay for it and it’s the only way for me to do my school work. I feel like it’s a threat to my safety when he also goes to the point of saying it’s somebody from the CIA and that multiple people have fallen victim to it. I’m just trying to make sure nobody falls victim to this so if anybody has answers please tell me.

    :)

    Don't worry about it.

    The worst they can do is boot you offline via a ddos attack.There's a FAQ about how to deal with this here https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/Hardware-Network/connect-network/dos-attacks-faq

    The majority of the time the type of people who make these threats never do anything & if this person has threatened to do this via a message on xbox live then report the message & then block them,that way the enforcement team can deal with them.

    As for the CIA part,they're talking rubbish.

    Hi LUCI!

    I am sorry to hear about that. Let's see what we can do about that here.

    First, I recommend that you report the player who messaged you that to the Xbox Enforcement team. Simply click on his profile on Xbox and choose to report it.

    To prevent the network attack, you may directly contact your Internet Service Provider or ISP for additional security on your network.

    Please visit the link below for more information on how to prevent it from happening and what actions to take when you're being attacked.

    What to do about this message threat?

    If you haven't done so already, you would need to file a complaint on them via the console in order for the enforcement team to investigate them. You'll also want to block communications with them.

    Xbox one offline booter

    I wouldn't about people like this posting empty threats, report and block is the easiest way forward

    If he has sent this in an xbox live chat then he clearly doesn't know what he is doing as he will be banned!
