Yeah, just got hacked in january and in april luckily for me i saw it happen and took the necessary precautions while he was doing it. signed his ass out, and then changed passwords. called microsoft and they got done with the investigation relatively quickly..like 18 hours.

I think all of you got lucky. I just got hacked for Fifa. They got me 3 achievements, but spent $124.96 all on these Jumbo Gold packs. I’ve only played Battlefield, never Fifa, whatever the hell is going on, Xbox and EA has lost my support.

Just happened to me, Feb 3, 2012. Called MS right away when I got the emails AT WORK confirming my “6000 Points purchased” and “4000 Points purchased”. They locked my account and said that they would investigate but quoted me at 3-5 business days. I better get my money back or I’m ditching online gaming altogether and going off the grid.

this is what you get when your password is abcd1234.
Not hard to get a program that just tries random combinations of words and numbers until it gets a hit,

My suggestion use a really hard messed up pass, make it something like “#$-@*$AF23″

This is just like peoples Windows Live messenger sending out virus links to friends until you change your password and why I stopped using messenger.

If people got more clued up on internet security this sort of shit wouldn’t happen.

Account just got hacked. MS points gone and about 120 bucks spent from credit card & 3 Fifa achievements gained. Seems like they took total control of my account after i changed the password, the verification email was sent to an extra email hotmail address that i’ve never seen before. After that they could change the password and my sign in email. Was so quick it seemed automated.

Had this happen to me just a couple of days ago, 19/1/12, just changed my passwords and sent Microsoft an email about it, if I don’t get a reply by Monday I’ll try phoning them, fortunately they only spent the 2100 MS points I had on there and didn’t use the card for anything (I’ve transferred all cash from that account to another one anyway just in case).

Hey I was hacked I was on bf3, Jan 15, 2012 here in Chicago, stayed off of Xbox live about 2 days, i signed in and it said ” this account has been logged in already on another system. It kicked me off 3 times. I finally noticed my windows id was changed to “gimmiemsp@hotmail.co.uk” I called them up they suspended my account and within 2 days I was back online, they had given me 2months of gold membership. They spent 249. bucks worth of ms points and gold packages. Yes fifa12 was the last thing they played and even earned achievements!

Just lost $40 on my account and my brother’s account had another 40 bucks BOTH of our accounts hacked, called microsoft (had to wake up nice and early due to their shitty office hours on hawaiian time =/) and practically the bitch just told us fuck off, suspended our accounts and REFUSED us a refund of our points. I wanna look into suing EA or microsoft whichever asswipe doesn’t know what the fuck they’re doing.

fuck microsoft. my account was just hacked too. just yesterday. $30 all gone. thank god there was no credit card hooked up to it. i would recommend everyone make a stronger password in case they are using a brute force attack. a cheap GPU can render 6 letter passwords useless these days.

If theres any way you can help with this issue i would be greatly appreciative. I was hacked just yesterday and these douchebags used my account to purchase a premium gold players pack for stupid fifa 12. Please reply to me if you can help.

This just happened to me as well. January 11th.
NOBODY knows any of my passwords.

This has been going on over two months. This is either Microsoft or EA. FIX YOUR SHIT.

Happened to me yesterday. This is STILL GOING ON? I am surprised and disappointed in the complete lack of care Microsoft or EA has shown with this issue.

For paying a ridiculous $60 a year for service, you would imagine there would be more of an effort to rectify these sorts of issues.

I would be interested in a class action suit. I’ve lost $50 and I don’t know if I will ever get it back. We’ve got to end FIFAGate 2012.

Well, my account investigation was complete on the 22 Nov. I was due a refund of £42.50 for the credits purchased. Was only supposed to take a maximum of 10 days, plus a further 30 for it to show on the statement.

46 days later i call to complain about my refund not showing up.

The stupid idiot put the case through again as an investigation and now my account has been locked and nothing MS can do.

You cant talk to the investigation team, the agent cant speak to the investigation team, you can’t speak to accounts to get your refund! It’s a complete joke!

Now my legal team with the credit card company are dealing with the case!

Oh, and because of their ridiculous credit card policies (you can’t delete your credit card details without first entering another one) I’ve had to CANCEL my credit card, which screws up a lot of other automated payments I make.
