phishing website

Entering some info onto the site and the cracker (program) does the rest. As long as you give enough info (which it makes you) they can do it

It will get solved guys, YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME

Not really... you gave personal information to a scam website.

Not trying to sound harsh, but there's probably nothing you or Microsoft support can do.

damn man you were the first to go right?

Link

guess he likes castle crashers

sadly i think he chose your account because of the gamerscore

Did someone post a link on CH, or how did this begin?

It went around on XBL. I got it from Whit3Ghost, who subsequently sent it to everyone else, who subsequently sent it to everyone else, etc.

IIRC, he followed a link for "free Microsoft points" and entered his XBL account information in at said site.

Then his Gamertag, now under control of whoever runs the phishing program at that site has been sending out bulk spam messages to all the people on his friends list.

This is the message: "message to all friends, i just got 20,000 microsoft points just from h1.ripway.com/microsoftpoints4free/ and this is LEGAL so try it out and in 24 hours or less you'll have more Microsoft points. enjoy yourself"

So yeah, if you get that message, don't believe it, don't go to that site, your account will be hacked etc, etc.
