Security on the Xbox Live network is a huge concern for Microsoft, who's products are targeted the most by hackers.

I wouldn't doubt it,however as long as it dosent effect consumers I don't care :P
I received an email from email.xbox.com trying to get me to install active-x. I checked its ip and it came from someone in New Jersey on a Qwest line. Read your emails carefully.
If this did happen it wouldnt no surprise me. Just look at windows and how many people get spoofed, hacked, tracked, hijacked and etc.. So this doesnt look to far fetch.
This is the bad side about hackers but i can live with it.
Let's just say my house was secure, I was out of the country for a very long period of time with no access to Xbox or to my email and my account was breached and my credit card was stopped while I was away as it was used by people who obtained my details from microsoft. Either through NBungie or through customer support. They're covering their asses, there's been a serious security breach. My email, paypal, bank etc have not been affected.
Microsoft are lying to us to hide their negligence and mask their culpability/liability for any possible lawsuits.
@ E to the T
Last I heard there was a supposed 'breach' of XBox Live.......because log-in & password details stolen from the PSN breach were tried (and worked) on XBL.
Now, if this is so - and given the well published info that a lot of people have trouble keeping & using more than a couple passwords etc is reasonably well documented - how is this "Microsoft are lying to us to hide their negligence and mask their culpability/liability for any possible lawsuits"?
At what point in that example is it anyone but the hackers fault & the private individual's negligence?
