I received an email from email.xbox.com trying to get me to install active-x. I checked its ip and it came from someone in New Jersey on a Qwest line. Read your emails carefully.

@ E to the T

Last I heard there was a supposed 'breach' of XBox Live.......because log-in & password details stolen from the PSN breach were tried (and worked) on XBL.

Now, if this is so - and given the well published info that a lot of people have trouble keeping & using more than a couple passwords etc is reasonably well documented - how is this "Microsoft are lying to us to hide their negligence and mask their culpability/liability for any possible lawsuits"?

At what point in that example is it anyone but the hackers fault & the private individual's negligence?
