I would just like to say fuck you to the dude who ganked my account, not because he stole my money, but because he played FIFA 2012.
:crying:
Edit: Has this happened to anyone before?

Did he get any achievements? If he didn't, you can still erase it from the list of games played and save some face. :lolz:
The fucking cocksucker earned some achievements. Piece of shit.
Happened yesterday, called MS about 30 minutes ago.
I mean FIFA 2012, really?
I'm bewildered.
Isn't 360 account hacking primarily used to use people's points on content that can be shared with other profiles? Why would he actually use your account actively?
Get less predictable passwords. Also virus scan. None of the activity takes place console side.
At least it wasn't Madden?Quote:

1) They hacked it IMMEDIATELY after I added $50 worth of points.
2) I DEFINITELY didn't have a predictable password at all.
3) I don't use windows machines, only *NIX.
I had the password shared a few places, so I think one of the forums I visit has been compromised.
Did you contact Microsoft and what has happened so far?Quote:

It does look like they changed my Windows Live password, but I've since changed that. Thankfully the password to my windows live account is most definitely not the same as my email password (i'm not that dumb.)
This is what I don't get.Quote:

I did contact MS, since it cost me about $50 worth of points. They told me that there would be an interim period of time where I will be able to log into my account and earn achievements, etc. During this time I won't be able to add points to the account or buy content. Once the investigation begins the account will be locked and I won't be able to log.
I'm still in phase 1 and it's been about 3 weeks. Phase 2 is supposed to take 2 weeks once it begins.
They can't do it any fast than that? That's pretty lame.
Sorry to hear about it though guys. That's got to be pretty annoying -- no one likes hassles associated with something that's supposed to be a fun hobby.
Yeah the dude said it takes around 25 days. I assume that's business days, but the customer service line is open 7 days of the week.
Pretty much fucking sucks.
Basically you can't go on XBL during the period your account is suspended.
Good thing I DL'ed Guardian Heroes already :(
I'm so getting Skyrim on PC.
Did you contact your card issuer?Quote:

Fuck soccer.
I'd rather they played Madden than this FIFA shit.
I'M MERKUHN GODAMNIT :loco:
:-J
I didn't mess with the card, couldn't see a reason. When I view the card from the account I can only see the last 4 digits. There were no new card charges, they just spent the points I had on there.
That was my thinking too. I'm just kind of "spooked" about the whole thing. In my case they charged points to my account and then spent them :(
EDIT: SPENT THEN ON FUCKING FIFA 2012.
I actually think I would commit a felony against the person(s) who did this too me.
They only need your account once to license transfer all of your content to their console. Or all of your account's content to your new console, is what it's meant for.Quote:

Once done, they can re-download everything in your download history and play it on any account on their console.
I don't believe they transferred the content license.
Which reminds that I need to do that anyway. Sigh. I guess once this ordeal is over.
Who the fuck steals games?
You are not alone. There are many people getting hacked. FIFA2012 is also one of the most popular games in the world right now.
The thing is, both MS and EA are blaming the other. I'm surprised this hasn't blown over yet.
sO think they are using fifa2012 for the hack itself because of the way they did there online crap. There was some info about some of this type of hacking on se7ven sins forum awhile ago but have not kept up with that scene.
thread git me thinking and I don't even remember any of the password or emails used for live. I don't log in to live outside of the 360 itself
It definitely looks like it's related to FIFA 12. It's all over the internet and MS is trying to downplay it.

It sounds like some exploit related to having any EA game tied to your Live account.
Just voicing my support for 'duf. I feel really bad for you. Having been through a similar thing with a different online service (FF XI, about 3 years ago,) I definitely sympathize with you.
I'm absolutely convinced that EA's accounts have been hacked. If Microsoft's Live accounts (and subsequently their entire Live Passport of tools) had been compromised, this would be all over the news. I think EA is sweeping this under the rug. If you share the same password, anywhere, with your EA account, I'd really consider doing a round of password changes.
The worst part is that I shouldn't even need an EA account.
Steam, EA, Blizzard Net...
Soon we won't be able to play games offline at all. At that point I'll just retreat to the 16-bit era again.
Sorry to hear about this Duf, completely and utterly lame.
With so many people getting hacked, don't be surprised if the wait goes beyond 25 days.Quote:

Yeah, sucks but whatever. I'm not to stressed about it. I haven't really been using live in the last couple of months.Quote:

I provided the info and he told me I'd receive an e-mail with information on regaining access to my account, as well as a code or something for lost points. I asked what would happen to the hacker and he basically said they'd just ban consoles that accessed my gamertag since I made the report. I explained that I was able to recover my own gamertag, and that I'd done so before I filed the report. I also explained that the first guy took down all this information. I went ahead and gave him the serial # and console ID of my second Xbox.. This seemed to really confuse the dude.
I expect that the next MS problem I'll have is 2 banned 360's.
Wow. That is pretty fucking piss poor.
You'd think they'd handle shit like this better than Sony did. But it seems they aren't... Fuck.
Guy who took my info got my console and serial ID numbers...I can only hope that with how many accounts have been fucked with that MS starts working faster...
It seems pretty clear that they MUST eliminate DLC that you can trade with your "friends". I don't care how many soccer fanboys eat it up, that's the source of the problem. Otherwise when a console is banned, the entire reason they hacked would be eliminated. As it is, they do a bunch of hacking with 1 Xbox.. and who knows how large a time period they have. It might be weeks. MS catches up and bans that console, which they prob JTAG and sell. Meanwhile, they've milked hundreds.. maybe thousands of dollars worth of DLC from people and sold it off to other consoles.
What doc is tradeable? What are these futbol losers buying?
It's a virtual trading card thing. You buy "Gold Packs" that you open on screen. You sift through the random cards you got, and you decide what to add to your team, what to discard, and what you want to use for trades.
There are youtube videos and such.
Who the hell would buy DLC for a soccer game?
What is there worth buying?
Post above.. The packs of soccer cards. I think you use them to build an "ultimate team" and compete online. Looks like the cards add players to your team. I'm not 100% sure though, just did some Google trying to figure it out myself and found a video.Quote:

There is a thread on neogaf and there is at least 20 people whose account has been hacked in the past two months.
Be on the look out...
Edit: Also saw my brother playing Fifa 11 the other day...will have to call to make sure he was actually playing it and someone didn't hack his box either.
Im wondering, has those who have been hacked played the new Battlefield recently?
Wow. That's really shitty man, I feel for ya dude. I pray to the lord baby jesus that I haven't been hacked yet. Now you're making me paranoid - congratulations.
I think it's real shitty that Microsoft makes you keep your credit card information stored in your system like that.
No, I do not own BF3.Quote:

He was using only Linux, with up to date security software. He also did a scan of his machine for malware. He should have been good to go, but he was hacked again in 11 days.
So basically it doesn't look like a brute force hack. Nor does it look like malware or phishing (but we knew this already).
Somebody is compromised and doesn't want the media to know this. Of course this makes sense to me, since I was hacked the moment I added $50 worth of points to my account.
Go play a 3DS while you have the inevitable M$ slow-as-moleasses wait to straighten your shit out.
I'll be playing Skyrim on PC while waiting for this shit to get sorted out.
Well the issue isn't what to do in the meantime, it's whether or not it is going to continue getting hacked. Right now there is an unexplained vulnerability that goes well beyond end-user issues.Quote:

I agree with this. I also don't understand why MS allows these peripheral companies to connect into Live.Quote:

I agree that it's annoying as a user to have to already have an Xbox live account, and then have to create another account, like one for EA games (Mass Effect, Dragon Age, BF1943, etc...) or even say the various PSO games on XBL where you had to pay the XBL subscription, AND the games subscription. Dumb.
I got hacked too, I don't own fifa, and havent played xbox in over a month. 10/26 Someone bought 10,000 xbox points through my account, MS said it would take a month for the investigation to take place, I only hope my bank will reverse the charges, though I doubt it :/
What were the points spent on? Do you have Fifa achievements now?
I too also had not really played my Xbox in about 2-3 weeks before it happened.
BioWare takes security very seriously. As we ramp up to the launch of Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, we are implementing additional security controls to maintain the safety of your account and personal information. One of these security measures includes ensuring all passwords meet best practices around password strength. As a result, all accounts created on or before October 21st, 2011 must reset their password to meet the new security standards. Just like for any other user account you have, changing your Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ password on a regular basis is one of the simple measures you can take to protect your personal information.
Your Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ account credentials are linked to EA.com and Origin.com, so your new password will be applied across all three websites.
We will implement the reset within the next few weeks, so look for a reminder email from us. For more information about this, head over to our Forums or read our News Article.
Translation: We have a security breach. Once we fix it, we'll need everyone to have a new password.
They wont tell me and my account is locked until the investigation is over. I have no way of knowing what the ass fuck did with my 153.00Quote:
