i advise you greatly to change your passwords and check your bank accounts.

this morning while i was out my bank account got drained via xbox live due to hackers.

this is becoming more and more widespread.and clue to hacked accounts is your last played game my was fifa12 i don't even like football never mind want the game.

microsoft now locked my xbox off live while they look into this "20-40 days" it going take !!! good job i got my bank to start a refund progress in action.

so check your banks !!

I got an email saying my payment for 4000 Microsoft points had not gone through due to my cc details on file being wrong. It was as I got a new one since the last time the one on file with them was used so I was lucky because of this they got nothing!

[cupracing]

Thanks just checked and no new purchases have been made, changed my password for a stronger one while I was there

I would actually take payment details off, best way IMO

Hi,
Just tried taking my payment details off. But can't as it's associated with my live account and is the one that will be used to renew my live subs. So it won't let me. Any ideas how I can remove all payment options.
This is something I hate about xbox live. Having all your card information stored. I'd much rather just put it in when I want to buy or renew something.
Plus, what are MS doing about all this fraud going on. I hear of them investigating people who've been done over but nothing on prevention.

I've not baught a game or paid for live through xbox live, I've only baught the codes in the shop. So as far as I can remember I have never used my bank details on my Xbox. Does this mean I should be ok?

Cheers for the warning...

Are they just guessing/phishing passwords or is there something more advanced going on?
