I've always wondered why the voice of Xbox live is some old boring guy, but anyway.... Why would someone pay to hack someone's Live account? What's to gain? Seems like an expensive and lame prank.

Is this guy an idiot? Youtube the hack, then offers people the location of contact to pay him $60 to hack any account? Like what a moron, he's as good as caught its a matter of when.

I hate when youtube removes videos even if its not of copyright bs but by Tos. Flaggers and False DMCAers use Tos to censor us and I hate this.

I didn't know showing an account being hacked is a term of violation, after all it didn't show how the hack was being done. Ah well..

This is not about an account being hacked, it is about a huge network with credit card data and virtual money being hacked in less than a day. Microsoft wants to make it look like it isn't a big deal, but it is. It is no longer just a gaming/communication network. As soon as you start having a bunch of people with virtual currency sitting around, you should start acting with bank-level security.

that information is stored on another server on a one way network. you can send information but it wont return anything. and if an account was taken over the last 4 digits of your cc number isn't going to do anyone any good.

MS points are about the only thing stored localy, although going back threw my X360 it looks like you can save your cc number localy for future use although this seems optional, not to mention its bad security practice.
