Microsoft: ‘Security Breach? What Security Breach?’

January 14, 2012 by Elizabeth DeLoria

We recently talked about reports of an alleged ‘loop hole’ in Xbox Live’s website security. While it’s left many of us uneasy, Microsoft assures us that there’s nothing to see here.

We recently talked about reports of an alleged ‘loop hole’ in Xbox Live’s website security. While it’s left many of us uneasy, Microsoft assures us that there’s nothing to see here.

“Microsoft can confirm that there has been no breach to the security of our Xbox Live service.” Microsoft said to IGN in a statement. “The online safety of Xbox LIVE members remains of the utmost importance, which is why we consistently take measures to protect Xbox LIVE against ever-changing threats. Security in the technology industry is an ongoing process, and with each new form of technology designed to deter attacks, the attackers try to find new ways to subvert it.

"We continue to evolve our security features and processes to ensure Xbox LIVE customers information is secure. Online fraud and identity theft are industry-wide problems, and as such people using any online services should set strong passwords, not share those passwords across multiple services and refrain from sharing any personal details that could leave them vulnerable.

As always, we highly recommend our members follow the Xbox LIVE Account Security guidance provided at http://xbox.com/security to protect your account.”

Now, how about taking some measures to improve the fact I can’t remove my credit card details without calling your support service? What’s up with that?
