XBox hacked on FIFA 12

[madmoza]

My 10 year old son got his account hacked last night and the FILTHY SCUMBAG stole all of his 600 players he'd bought or won...120 quits worth of Microsoft points and the 30,000 grand he'd won playing games!!! Now if any of u guys can help nail this guy I would appreciate it...cos with friends of mine I've got his email adress and they are tracking it to his home adress for me....please look out for RedDevilLucas89!! My son couldn't sleep in his bed last nite cos he thought this guy was gonna come steal him from us!!!!! PLEASE if you know this guy gonna let me know??? This sick fcuk is gonna regret wot he's done to my boy!!!!

Can you clarify "hacked"...do you mean he gave him his password ?

[tigro]

Maybe reporting him to xbox live would be a better idea.

[tronads]

I was just wondering if it was a stupidity issue, or if its something I (or others) need to watch out for....

[madmoza]

My son never gave him ANY details!! My son and his brother were playing this guy online last nite that was all!!! There is a major problem possibly on EA SPORTS side of things but DEFFO on xbox live!!

I had heard of kids being fooled into handing over their passwords etc by other kids promising to get them extra stuff etc, wondered if your kid had been snared by one of those that's all.

my live account was hacked sunday night they took £68 and some microsoft points what we had the points were used to buy fifa 12 stuff even played it on my account and got me achievment points i dont even have the game and defo didnt give my password out,Its a family account and now i have reported it to xbox they have suspended my account for up to 1 month while they investigate ,seems to be a big problem at the moment has i know of three other people this has happened to.

shit and i thought the ps3 hacking bit was really bad

[madmoza]

My thoughts on this.....Microsoft will deny ANY hacking and brush it under the carpet.....we need to get this out there so they can't deny it!!!!!!

when i told them visa would be claiming money from them they they didnt like it ,and i have been told i need to give them another credit card details to even continue using my family pack microsofts security is a joke.

It's a joke EA SPORTS could tell me who hacked my sons account.... When they did it etc....but Microsoft say up to six weeks!!!!!!! Bill Gates has your money and he don't give a fcuk!!!!

[Mr.James]

I know six people this has happened to... One of them got dundo'd and hadn't even had internet access for 4 months at the time...

No company with a ounce of sense would send you the details of someone that you claim has hacked you, firstly you are virtually powerless to do anything about it without their backing anyway and secondly, their investigation will be also to determine 100% that your suspicion is correct. If they just jumped on the first email that someone made a claim about we'd have false claims flying all over the place from every disgruntled 13yr old kid who's just lost a match.

[madmoza]

I really think you need to take your Microsoft tinted specs off!!!! OUNCE OF SENSE??? my son watched his teams and money and points disappear....even switched off his consol and it carried on happening....we informed EA SPORTS once and gave them ALL the details and THEY confirmed the person who did it!!!!!! IT TOOK SEVENTEEN....17 TRY'S TO GET MICROSOFT TO SORT THIS THE NIGHT IT HAPPENED!!!! PLEASE DONT TAR MY SON AS THE 13 YEAR OLD IN YOUR POST.....IT OFFENDS ME AND DOES NOT REFLECT IN ANY WAY THE CHARACTER OF MY SON!!!!!!!!!

THOUGHT YOU ALL SHOULD READ THIS!!!!!

I wasnt refering to your son as being 'every disgruntles 13yr old', no doubt this shit happens and its real, but if the industry worked how you described it, it would be far to open for abuse by '13 yr olds who had just lost a match'

If you dont like what EA are doing, or MS is doing then dont buy their shite, you vote with your money. Write to EA, send the emails and the responses to as many gaming news sites as possible.

That's an interesting article.....so how do you think your password was obtained, brute force ? Was it a weak password ?
And I am not sure how you know its this "RedDevilLucas89" person ?
Sure its not just coincidence and this kid wasnt just a nob on xbox live spouting the usual "I'm going to hack you" bollocks ?

The same happened to me about 2 month ago, my friends also noticed i was playing FIFA whilst at work which i don't own....
Reported to xboxlive and they recovered m$ points and returned my account back to me in about 2 wks and gave me a 1mth gold for the inconvenience.

I would just report to xbox and let them deal with it

But when you do, try and hold back on typing/talking like a mong. You're coming across like a chav on his first mobile phone text message.

CHRIST SAKE......DO YOU WORK FOR MICROSOFT BY ANY CHANCE???
There was no way.....NO WAY THE GUY HAD ACCESS TO THE PASSWORD.....there is a weakness in the system between EA SPORTS AND XBOX LIVE.....EA SPORTS COULD TELL ME WHO IT WAS WHAT HE TOOK AND WHEN HE DID IT....I HONESTLY THINK THE NOB HERE IS YOU!!!!
