Got caught by this Fifa 12 hack last night, Some lil asshole had logged into my account used my 3000+ points and I had three Fifa 12 achieverments… Never played Fifa 12, damn sure wont now.

Microsoft have been contacted on this and have assured me this will take 2 to 3 days to complete and they will be able to track the person who done it.

This happened to me too, i had 1600 points i put on my account, and after playing some battlefield 3 i got hacked. like 2 weeks after i started playing on that shitty ea server i was hacked and i realized this two days ago because i went to buy an addon for my game dead island, and its a zombie arena so it was going to be fun and really enjoy it, i was excited cause i usually dont have points on my account to buy stuff right away, and bam dreams crushed by this asshole. He bought some fifa 12 packages and spent 1200 points on Portal Still alive, some arcade game. Who the fuck even likes those crappy games like fifa… dam.

I’ve been hacked twice once when they stole my gamer tag and i had to recover it in which they stole £55 out of my account just before christmas , xbox cut me off for a month and paid money back to me around 6 weeks later , and then they stole more money ,points and players out of my sons account through fifa 12 but we didn’t have to recover the gamer tag this time so Microsoft said we we not hacked , my son then played fifa12 on my xbox for an hour in which time i got hacked and points were bought but again i didn’t have to recover tag so xbox says it wasn’t hacked , what the hell is going on

Pigs, we were blaming our son for these purchases all £80 over 2 days. This was in October 11 and after 3 months of freezing our account and being told our credit card details had to be kept on account incase of any refund, we were then told there was no evidence of hacking!!! Whilst waiting for this to be investigated we have had another £25.50 taken off the card for more Gold Pack purchases on Fifa. How can this happen? Microsoft will accept no responsibility AGAIN and we’ve now reluctantly cancelled this account.

I was just got the Fifa hack 3 weeks ago. I got an email saying they bought 10,00o microsoft points (for a total of $125) with my credit card. And since I know how shitty customer support can get at Microsft, I was really dreading having to deal with them (especially since I was having a really shitty couple of days, prior to the hack, too). Luckily they used my Paypal account to steal money from my credit card, so dealing with Microsoft wasn’t needed. I just filed an authorized purchase claim on Paypal, so they launched an “investigation” and it only took 10 days for the “investigation” to be over (and for me to get my money back). And this was all done without having to shutdown my Microsoft account for 25-75 days.

Ive also been hacked with FIFA 12. Got two achievements and all my 2900 points from Christmas were spent. I tried telling XBOX, but they were no help, and I don’t want my account banned for a month. Im just thankful I don’t use a credit card for anything on XBOX. But its still pisses me off that Microsoft says it’s not their fault even thougb everybody is having the same problem. Get a clue !

My account got hacked on 2/7/12 for 4000 points and another for 1600 points. I need to start an investigation to get my money back. It is the only way to do so. I’m really fucking pissed right now.

Another hack victim here. After 5 years of happy gaming, and mocking the poor fools for having the PS3 my account is now locked ‘pending investigation.
Whether this sours my relationship with Microsoft really depends on how long it takes to sort it out, and get me back online with my points safely back in my account.
These things do happen I suppose, and they certainly appeared to take it seriously when I reported it last week

Kind of ridiculous that this is even happening, although I guess I can take some comfort in the fact that I am not alone. My account was hacked last night by some jackass that had the audacity to go into party chat with my friends (who obviously knew it was not me). At this point I was called by one of my friends, and when I got home completely redid my password etc. Had to recover my account from another xbox, had 35 achievement points in fifa 2012 (never played it before and I never play sports games to begin with). Checked my billing, which thankfully does not have a credit card or paypal attached, and noticed the hacker spent my 1800 or so MS points on Fifa card packs. Called xbox, went through the phone line. The woman was very helpful, I put in for an investigation, and my account is suspended right now while they hopefully right these wrongs. I just hope I don’t have to wait a month to use xbox live again.

turd bag, stole my account with fifa 12 and stole 130 dollar in microsoft point, and overdraft fees, i cant believe this is happending jesus christ, someone who doesn’t give a shit, would really go through the trouble of not careing. Believe me when i say this, “dont delete your account without deleteing all your information on it first”. Really finding hard to contact microsoft about this little problem, now i need to go down to the bank and report electronics fraud activity, and try to get my money back, so we dont lose the house. please post more if anyone else, had this problem, and fixed it. at first thought it was a microsoft scam or sheme, just to find out some little fairy fat kid stealing my shit, and yes, i know how wrong that sounds, but true.

On Sunday morning I woke up in NYC on vacation to my phone buzzing with emails. 2 from MS confirming my purchase of 6000 and 4000 pts. I immediately called Microsoft support changed my secret question changed my password and initiated a claim. When I got home that evening from vacation it was FIFA 12 the last game played and they spent 12000 points on FIFA 12 ultimate packs. I had them locked out of the account within 20 minutes of those notification emails. The only thing I can think of is an EA leak (I may have had the same password on that account because when I used to play BF2:BC it MADE me create one to play the game). We’ll see how long it takes to get my 2000 points back and the CC charges reversed. I am pissed that Microsoft / EA haven’t tried to plug this hole up. Clearly it is because these FIFA 12 character packs are being sold on ebay for money or something or else what would be the point of downloading DLC / character content on someone else’s XBOX profile? Really annoying.

My account was hacked 2 weeks ago just got my account back but now I keep getting disconnected from xbox live and they charged my credit card $130 in Microsoft points that I’m still waiting to see back in my account. I got a headache and 3 achievements in FIFA 12 out of the whole ordeal. :(

Same here. Hacked on the 12th, lost 3200 points. Got my tag back, with a new live ID. Not my original one. Possibly, never be able to get that one attached again. Still no points. 2 FIFA12 achievements.
I blame EA for this though. XBL is trying to clean up the mess.
It’s like when your kid breaks shit and you have to fix it. EA is the bratty kid, XBL is the parent. EA needs a damn good spanking for this one.
