  1. Why is XBOX not doing anything against scammers and fake accounts


    As a mum I am fed up with the amount of times my son is being scammed on XBOX live, I had one guy james200444 stealing all my son's treasured items today on fortnite refused to give them back insulted me personally and also laughed that even if he was suspended
    its one of his fake accounts so even a block has no impact. Reported but nothing done yet from xbox live side, scamming for me is stealing and it's not ok. I work extremly hard for any items my son purchases. Why is XBOX not addressing this? Why do XBOX and
    epic games not making this interaction safe? Is there a regulator or ombusdman for this?

    :)

    Why is Treyarch not doing anything.

    [quote user="voteDC"]

    Most of the 'hacks' for the Call of Duty games come from the modders altering Microsoft hardware and code.

    -

    Treyarch and Infinity Ward can try and patch as much as they want but until Microsoft close the door on their end, then it is going to be a losing battle.

    -

    So it is no surprise that given MIcrosoft are unwilling or unable to fix the exploits on their end, that the Call of Duty developers eventually abandon the older games.

    [/quote]

    However it was actually proved by some tech savy people that the hacking could only occur due to Activision coding the game in a way such that it was easily exploitable. Essentially host settings were designed to over ride and create temporary information
    on consoles connected to a host so it could essentially force the host machines will onto the others. it was due to this that the infamous speed hack ran rampant so much so Activision had to contact the guy who released it first and ask them for the original
    code to counter it.

    you'll note very little modding in Black Ops and that's due to the developer using extra time to avoid this system and to make sure the game could function and was secure.

    Microsoft can be blamed for failing to close the door on this but then again Activision is to blame and its developers for creating a system so easily exploited, if it were simply modded consoles many more games would be unplayable, yet its mainly only COD.

    The only CoD game I haven't seen hacked lobbies on is Call of Duty 3! CoD4, W@W are rampant, I'd say it's actually better if they shut the servers down for old CoD games now

    Anyone just get a message from LIVE?

    [quote user="Praetorian VIII"]

    Yeah, I've had messages from LIVE before. Usually about surveys.

    It's a legit message though. If it were dodgy, why would they be asking you to get more protection for you account? A scammer wouldn't do that.

    [/quote]

    That's exactly the kind of poor reasoning that a lot of scammers make money from. You can click on a link and think that you are entering your details into the proper site, when you are really handing your details over to the scammers on a fake one. Google
    'FIFA ultimate team scammers' for examples of this type of scam.

    Glitch is allowing people to get microsoft points for free?

    These scammers on YouTube also tend to create many fake YouTube accounts so that they can comment on their own videos. This then makes the video look more real to anyone who is inclined to take up the offer. Don't believe the comments, for the most part,
    they are just as fake as the video.
