Get Your Hands Off My Gamertag!
WORDS BY: Bobbi Dempsey
The first sign of trouble appeared in Cory Rogers’ Xbox Live Friends list — it suddenly showed a bunch of new names he didn’t recognize. He deleted them and didn’t give it much thought. Then one of Cory’s friends asked when he’d gotten Halo 2. “I didn’t,” Cory said.
“That’s strange,” his friend replied. “I saw your Gamertag playing Halo 2 last night.”
Travis Connor’s problems started when he was suddenly logged off of Xbox Live and couldn’t log back in. According to the error message, his password — the one he’d always used — was now incorrect.
When Brandon Myers’ Xbox Live account was compromised, he reluctantly allowed a Microsoft rep to lock his account. In the end, he lost his 25,000-plus Gamerscore, 4,000 Microsoft Points, his full Friends list, and more than 30 game titles he had bought via Marketplace. After three years of constant gaming, he was forced to start over from scratch.
It’s a gamer’s worst nightmare: an unknown scam artist has assumed your online identity, using it to play games in your place, plus spending your Microsoft Points with reckless abandon and posting messages (possibly offensive ones) while posing as you. Hackers with a sadistic streak may even enjoy driving your rep right into the toilet by deliberately allowing you to die or be defeated online.
Worse, you are forced to watch helplessly while it happens, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

my gamer tag got stolen last year by some little fagit in new jersey he stole my one of my friends gamer tags and sent me a message over my friends account saying to go to some tiny URL site to get free Microsoft points, i don't remember what it was called but it looked just like x box.com log in page so i put in my user name and password and it just took me to x box.com logged in. nothing happened until about 2 days latter when i got logged off x box live in the middle of a match and couldn't log back in. Any way i traced the tiny URL back to the kids hot mail account. me and one of my friends hacked the his account and got my password back, not to mention a few hundred others, we reported him to Microsoft and when he tried to log back in Microsoft banned his x box.
