Not at school, work, home, on BBSes, the internet.
Then you have people who are varying degrees of careless. But as I pointed out in the other thread, I'me incredibly careful with my security and managed to reset my password while they were using my account elsewhere I not only changed it on my pc using an on-screen keyboard in case I had somehow become infected with a keylogger but I also changed it on the XBox. I also changed the method of password reset to send an SMS to my mobile and not my email, in case they had access to that too and yet, they were able to take control of my account again immediately.
The only possibility is that they used the answer to my secret question and NO ONE could happen to stumble across the answer, in fact I doubt they'd manage it with a any kind of guess or brute force. I get zero results if I try and Google the answer.
However they did it, Microsoft could still do more to help prevent people spending YOUR money when they do mange to gain access like requiring the 3 security digits off the signature strip to confirm purchases or better still using the SMS feature to require confirmation before allowing your gamertag to be restored to an unknown Xbox. You're right about the custodians of your accounts and data Microsoft, Sony, etc often being way too damn lax in their security.
Not just them, but businesses of all sorts. That's why I made the point that the only exception is when it's actually a legitimate failure on the other end of things. Such as having a database server broken into and all the contents stolen. Or companies that easily succumb to social engineering where you can just call and give two pieces of readily available public knowledge about a person and have the operator help you reset your their password, for example.
Alternately, you have the ones that require you answer a couple questions on a form. And so did my cell phone company. All you needed to "recover" account access meaning ANYONE could do this with the right info was answer something like "mother's maiden name" and "which of these four addresses do you currently live at". As for the live accounts He called themand had all sorts of account information. He just wanted to get his several year old account going again and pay for a renewed subscription.
On the user side, however, I can't think of a time when I saw someone have their accounts or machines compromised unless they were using short, simple, or dictionary passwords, not using proper basic networking security, and no clicking random shit.
Oh, and about the Microsoft help and all that. I've owned many s in the last five or six years and after a home invasion, I figured I'd do what I'd read other people do. I'd call up MS and give them my serial number so they could flag it and notify me or the police when they detected it logging in from somewhere.
But, nope. They said that isn't possible. How on earth did an "it'll never happen to me" Xbox Live hack happen to me? If you haven't heard about this before , it's actually quite simple.
Surprisingly and frighteningly simple. So they'll sit there and game with someone and after a little while, they'll ask you about your interests.
They'll ask you if you have a favorite car As our core audience is very technologically savvy -- they're all on Facebook, MySpace, or they're on various social networking sites -- they'll put up a wealth of information about themselves.
They'll blog about their very first pet So with a little bit of research and time, the attacker can try to get information that way. Or they'll call into support after having gathered enough information about you to effectively appear to be you. He knew it the instant he talked to customer support when he suspected he got hacked because he couldn't sign on to Xbox Live.
Tuttle, didn't we speak yesterday? They didn't. The technology itself does not seem to be the issue. Consumers are more used to that concept, and brainiac Microsoft scientists can work on patching up the technical side. But for the company's own customer service department to be a weak point in the system is quite alarming.
