Lulzsec resleases xbox live user info

[Krantos]

I'm expecting Lulzsec to be brought down pretty soon. There was an article on CNN that they hit the CIA's system. The CIA was not amused.

That's not a good idea, guys. You may be "leet haxors" but if you really think you can mess with the CIA and not get anal probed for it, you may have a superiority complex.

so all the xbox fanboys who gloated when the PSN was hacked and said that this could never happen to them were wrong? what a shocker.

 

[TheMagicLemur]

Yeah older games, almost all newer ones are forced.

Huh. Guess I just up 'n' hallucinated the gigantic rack of new-release PC games I just saw at Wal-Mart yesterday.

I hope you know steam games come in retail copies as well. I bought fallout new vegas hard copy and still had to use steam.

Ah, see I thought you meant games simply didn't come in hard copy form anymore. Yeah, I will agree that it'd be nice if it was less restrictive, but Steam is one of the better (and less restrictive) DD platforms out there. I think we'll see a lessening of restraint in the near future, especially when people see the success of sites like GOG.com that have NO DRM.

my xbox live account can be hacked? oh well, maybe theyll turn off my monthly membership since i cant be fucked calling support to ask them to.

so all the xbox fanboys who gloated when the PSN was and said that this cold never happen to them were wrong? what a shocker.

actually we were all laughing and the response from the ps3 community when it went down.

so until live goes down, theres nothing really the same about it.

(yes they supposedly got our info, but until i get proof, or they hack me, it doesnt make a difference to me does it?)

so you would insist that live can never be hacked since it is obviously the better platform which it is because you happen to use it?
and besides isn't your information being stolen more important than not being able to insult people in cod(which apparently a lot of people do over live)?

captcha: cool heads prevail. how oddly fitting

We argued over a simple misunderstanding. Sorry if I wasn't very clear about what I was talking about. I do support things like GOG sense they are way less restrictive then steam from what I've heard. I hope you're right about seeing less restrictions in the future. I wish pc gamers would actually speak out against it more aggressively though instead of just accepting the way they are treated. People accept steam and I do understand that it isn't nearly as bad as some other systems. I'm not that ignorant, but I feel that isn't good enough, steam still feels like a system that treats pc gamers like criminals only with a little extra to make it seem like they aren't.

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

is that list that king posted the entirety of lulzecs stolen passwords? or should i change my pass anyway.

i probably should, but im such a forgetful sort.

 

[adragonofgold]

Not saying this is funny at all, but to all the Xbox fanboys who laughed when PSN went down and said Microsoft would never let that happen. Never happened, alot sooner than you thought. Now that I've said that... I have to change my Xbox passwords to something I can remember.

 

[Dfskelleton]

I love all these trolls. They think they're accomplishing things and making an actual impact on the lives of others. As has been proven by Charlie Sheen, it's funny to see stupid people be stupid.

http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/24144/LulzSec-Reportedly-Targets-Xbox-Live-Account-Info/

The exact amount of information released is unknown but lulsec claims that the file was viewed thousands of times before being taken down.

what was that bout Xbox having better security than the PSN? what is another BS excuse you have for paying $60 a month? What? Where are the nay sayers that didn't stand by their PS3 brethren and only kicked them while they were down?

Yea. GIANT. MIDDLE. FINGER. TO. YOU.

X-Box Live does have better security than the PSN, because it hasn't been breached or hacked.

The supposed X-Box Live user info is from other sites that have been hacked, where the people have used the same e-mail and password for those sites as they do for X-Box Live.

A website can have the best security in the world, but if some of it's users let other people know their log-in details, then that security doesn't count for anything.

X-Box Live has only been "hacked" in the same way Steam is "hacked" everyday when it's users fall for phishing scams and give their passwords away, i.e. it hasn't been hacked at all, it's just that some of it's users are idiots who use the same e-mail and password for every site they visit.

That Team X-Box article is full of shit and is just reporting the same 62,000 password list story that emerged last week, but spinning it to make it appear like a new and dangerous occurrence.

This is a far more accurate and responsible telling of the tale: http://www.vgrevolution.com/2011/06/xbox-live-was-not-hacked-by-lulzsec-not-directly/

This really has to end....why can't someone...anyone find out who these people are?

Ugh...time to report another credit card lost and or stolen.

Oh they can. The NSA/FBI probably already know who these people are. But there's no point in arresting them until there's enough evidence against them. Plus, many of these people live in countries other than the US - plenty of "anonymous" members were found in Turkey and Spain, and even if the US knows who these people are they have to co-operate with local authorities to catch them.

I'll bet that some of the Lulzsec people have already been caught, and have now been rolled and are working for the FBI (it's ridiculously easy to intimidate hackers once you're face to face with them, or so the police say). It's only a matter of time.

I wouldn't put most Lulzsec members in jail. They've been annoying but it's not like they've killed anyone. And most of them are just stupid kids. Give them community service... perhaps a month in jail, just to scare em. I know I'm a big softy, but it's not like these Lulzsec people are monsters from Jupiter.

 

[blankedboy]

Well I guess this means Steam'll be next on their list, they've hit all the console devs.

If you use Steam Guard you should be fine.

Awesome, can't wait until they do this and I go onto the list and say EYYYY, THERE'S MINE ^^ and then just leave.

 

[Luthir Fontaine]

Well some one please slap cuffs on these guys and lock them down

 

[DustyDrB]

I don't ever take pleasure in the suffering of others...but I could make an exception if they allowed cameras to follow these hacker's lives in prison once they get caught.

 

[jedizero]

Hopefully they actually do something to Valve instead of getting their info just to prove they can.
Valve needs to be taken down several pegs, then have sharp pegs driven through them.

....may I ask why?

Is it just that their distribution network is so fucking awesome? Is it that their DRM is negligible, and non intrusive?

Honestly, whats the problem with Valve/Steam?

P.S.
What is that Microsoft? What was that about how your *Awesome* paid service is totally *TOTALLY* secure?

What does crow taste like? Hrm? Does it taste bad?
Good.

 

[AxemBlue]

my email isnt on there, so im safe right?

 

[guidance]

Thank god I use a separate email for my xbox live account and everything else.

 

[Lenin211]

I never thought that lulz security would target me. It was all so very distant until now. QQ.
