I'm the one that hacked you. Would you like all your stuff back, or should I just feed it all to your PM?

Then you probably weren't hacked, you were likely either A) phished, or B) your password was given to someone by XBL support staff.

Is your password strong?

I would imagine so, yes, unless you'd like it to happen again.

Did you log into your gamertag anywhere on the internet recently that looked suspicious?

Also, answer the following questions for me. (I work in IT security, so I know a thing or two about strong passwords)

1: Is your password 8 or more characters?
2: Does your password contain lowercase AND uppercase letters?
3: Does your password contain numbers?
4: Does your password contain non-alphanumeric characters?

If you don't say yes to all four, then you have a weak password. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Yeah, then your password is laughably weak, and I could probably brute-force it in a day or two. Additionally, I'd go as far as to wager that you got phished. (Entering your gamertag information into a website that LOOKED like an official Microsoft webpage, but was not)

Protip: Always check the URL of the website you're entering usernames and passwords in. ALWAYS. The security of your accounts is your own responsibility.

How could you fall for a phisher... it must have been a well-created one, like a RS one. Usually, phishers url links are easy to spot, right away you'll know something isn't right.

Better luck next time.

LOL!!!

dude, its not that funny..other hackers like "B" told people he hacked them, so it couldve been true.
and the funnier thing is you could be saying you did, thus making him think you are joking, making him not suspect you.

and funniest of all is that he wouldn't have even remotely thought about that if you put that you were on PS2/PC in your sig.
