Lulzsec resleases xbox live user info

[Assassin Xaero]

I can't say I really feel sorry for them. Yeah it's bad, but on the other hand, and ton of xbox players were complete douchebags when PSN was hacked, so guess its karma...

The ends don't always justify the means.... everyone is at risk now. Instead of pointing and laughing at each other we should be banding together and universally condemning these attacks.

Band together and do what? Most gamers out there probably don't know a thing about security or computers. Hell, most of them think that since they like to play games they could make them for a living. So, all of them together would be rather useless. People will always be attempting to hack and steal information, you can't really change that. Best to hope for is that Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, etc. keep updating and complicating their security measures.

At first it was just hacking, but now it's personal 0.o

 

[Grigori361]

Can't say I'm surprised, considering that Lulzsec doesn't care who it attacks any more.

Implying falsely I think, that they ever did give a shit who they attacked. I doubt that.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Although I see how there could be comedy in a hack, exposing pants security, then not criminally taking advantage of it. They are putting peoples passwords on the net for EVERYONE to see.

It's not exactly funny if a criminal uses it to rob everyone is it.

I would see the mirth in it otherwise.

(and yes I'm aware hacking is a crime in itself)

What is Lulsec's cause, exactly? They're upsetting and unnerving people because.....?

For the lulz. They are horrible people who get their kicks out of screwing with other people and potentially ruining their lives.

 

[whiteshark12]

didn't see this posted, so:

http://lulzsecurity.com/releases/62000_random_logins.txt

Go on there, CTRL+F, search your e-mail. if it turns up, change your password. if it doesn't, your account details were not announced.

 

[Seanfall]

Well, is Games for Windows account and XBox Live accounts the same? If so, I might as well change my password.

Yeah it is mate, same service. :-\ The whole "Live" brand (including Live Messenger for example) shares that info.

Just checked and followed a link. This site [http://dazzlepod.com/lulzsec/] has a list of compromised addresses so is probably well worth a check for anyone to see if they have been affected.

thanks for this link. I'm safe, whew. I don't have any credit card info on it I don't trust it. So I guess I'm justified for now. My mom did have a credit card on it. But she had to change it anyways a while ago so it's....defunct now.

xbox 360 gets hacked, no one cares because live stays up while you remain vulnerable to multiple attacks

It's funny, I guess, if you're an asshole. Which they are.

 

[standokan]

This is one of the few situations in which I'm happy to have Wii

but then again, I have a Wii

 

[MadCapMunchkin]

Really? You know, at least Anonymous had a semi-active battle against Scientology that redeemed at least a few of their more stupid exploits.

This...this is just plain stupid.

 

[EHKOS]

There has to be more to this...There has to be something that is preventing another team of hackers from finding these guys.

...something isn't adding up here.

That's what I'm thinking. If I were a hacker I would be pissed about this. Don my white hat and kick they's virtual ass!

Something else is going on. I just hope Steam Guard holds.

 

[Fusioncode9]

I'm guessing that was the 62,000 emails and passwords released. I already checked, mine wasn't on it.

 

[smudgey]

Not on the list, gonna cancel my card anyway. Thanks a fucking lot. Quit ruining things for everyone else.

Seriously, they say they're "doing it for the lulz", but how long can you trot out the same crap before you find it unfunny? Do you still see anyone doing pie-in-the-face gags? Of course not, because that shit got old. If they're doing it for the sake of humour, then this lot is to comedy what Hitler was to racial equality.

 

[mavkiel]

Grr another reason to hate live. Anyone else think that this might be the death knell of consoles? If they can't protect their customers information, those machines might as well be called theft-boxes.

You could argue the pc companies have the same issue, but they tend to not have credit card info. Also, its not one stop shopping. EA screws up and releases your info? Stop buying from EA. Console users have no such option.

Anyhow, not saying that this attack alone will kill the console market, but if these type of attacks continue, I can see it easily causing negative console growth.

 

[DarkRyter]

They keep slapping their dicks in our faces.

I just don't know what to do.

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

*Sighs* My account's fine, but seriously. Lulzsec is starting to piss me off. Isn't it about time legal action was taken? Is that even possible? Or are we going to be forced to listen to smug assholes hack into every damn thing they can?

 

[Agent Larkin]

I can't find it.

I've gone through their most recent releases and nothing from xox live.

-edit-

Also just realised that my xbox a) has a different password and email to everything else b) has no credit card details on it. So I'm not that worried.

 

[cryogeist]

Anyone else think they are starting to bite off more then they can chew?
i mean they hacked 3 of the biggest game companies and the C.I.A...
