Xbox Live Hacked?

[Night]

Saw this posted on GameSpot:

A hacker going by the name Reckz0r today claimed to have cracked Xbox Live, exposing confidential information for around 47 million users.

 

 

In a note posted on Pastebin, the hacker claimed to have "brutally owned" Xbox Live a few days ago, but decided to publish the data today.

 

Writing on Twitter, Reckz0r said Microsoft stores its passwords in a plaintext format. This person described the disbanded hacking group Lulzsec as "friends."

 

A Microsoft representative has told GameSpot to expect comment from the company shortly.

 

The hacking claims come just two days after Microsoft announced its next-generation platform, the Xbox One.

I find it hard to believe that passwords were plain text.. Bayfiles seems to be down right now, so no word on if it's legit or not.

Another fake leak. Fucking skids these days, eh?

Wahoo, you can dig up an old file and claim credit for it.
