Posted: Sun May 26, 2013 5:05 am Post subject: How and When Xbox LIVE was Hacked!
'Reckz0r', the same hacker who cracked into CNN websites and data stream, tweeted only the other day that Xbox Live has been 'Hacked' and that he now holds source code. Max Console now has exclusive pics to prove it.
Yesterday, a tweet by 'Reckz0r' pointed everyone to a 'pastebin' where he claimed he dumped all 48 million Xbox Live users and offered up a 6gb file as proof, but it was soon figured out the 'file link' was just an hoax and the actual story smelled very fishy at best, and Microsoft soon confirmed to 'GameSpot' that Xbox Live was NOT hacked, and everything is secure.
Now this is not the first time a story broke with Xbox Live claiming to be 'hacked' and then later Microsoft claims it is all A-OK and keep gaming along, back in 2011 the newspaper SUN claimed there was a huge 'Xbox Cyber Fraud' and Microsoft was even doing an cover-up on it, later on Microsoft backtracked and said it was just all 'social engineering' and 'kiddies' were giving out their own personal info that was why they were getting 'hacked', and security is secure on Xbox Live, but just to make sure they added more protocols to made it harder to change your info, if you had been duped into giving out info to these so-called 'phishing' attempts.
But today we here at MaxConsole were contacted by an professional security auditor that of course wishs to remain anonymous and has offered up to us exclusive proof as 'screenshots' taken via 'TeamViewer' of an actual 'hacker' (which is rumored to be ex-employee) getting into the Xbox Live system via its 'Source Code', which using an actual Microsoft VPN connection, and this we are told all took place about 6 to 7 months ago, during an operation to 'steal money' from various companies, and since then all those involved have been raided by the FBI and Secret Service.
So does this mean Xbox Live is really safe and secure? -- You decide yourself after looking at the 'pictures'!

I don't see any proof. That IP is owned by Comcast. No proof of hacking in either pic
Hey, if an ex-employee who knows how to get in did it then it could very well have happened. Many employees of Microsoft could do something like this. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!
