so a kid manages to somehow shoot himself with his own sniper rifle... killing himself, of course. and bungie rewards his 1337ness with recon armor only 2 pair of recon armor exist outside of bungie's own employees. now, apparently, some jackhole has hacked this kids account...to steal his armor. he's hacked the account, changed passwords, changed credit card info, changed names, etc, etc... here's the kids blog on his clan page: www.team-vbi.net/teamvbi/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3826&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

that infamous dude is hilarious. He's actually scared with what people were saying and tried to persuade everyone that the feds wouldn't do anything. I've been checking up on it, and it is actually the sort of thing that they will investigate, not because of the account, but because of the behaviour. They would consider him a 'threat' Personally, i'd rather the vBi guys found him, and.... Had A Word with him

....WTF? Customizable armor is only a feature available in Halo 3.
And the pictures he took ("KoRy in Recon Armor" or w/e) showed him on a Halo 3 map, The Pit. :X

i've heard about this problem. I don't know of any security flaw except the social engineering one, which is hard to fix. Basically, if u know enough about a person like their name, address, and phone#, u can call up MS and pretend ur the guy whose accoutn u want to steal and then pretend u lost the pw to that account. MS then resets the account or give u the pw for it or does something else to compromise security.

right, and then that person has access to ANY info you had attached to that account, including credit/debit card numbers. and then they change information on the account and the only way you can get back in is if you call in and do the same thing that they did to get it in the first place...because by now they've changed email, name, gamertag, credit card numbers, etc...AND they've prolly written the numbers down. so the point is, i really want a 360 and i want to play on live but...until MS is even willing to admit there's a problem...no thank you.
