I hope y'all use PayPal to pay for shit on LIVE, because some hacker has a HUGE hard on for FIFA.

"Ars Technica has received a number of reports from Xbox Live customers complaining about hacked accounts, unauthorized purchases, and a slow response from Microsoft itself. The pattern is weirdly specific: gamers notice that unauthorized purchases have been made using their credit card information or existing points, and FIFA Soccer 11 or 12 has been played on their account.

"Yesterday, my live account got hijacked and charged just over $100. Specifically, two large purchases of points followed by the download of FIFA 12, which had 2 achievements unlocked for the game, and every MS point spent on Gold Premium Packs and DLC," one reader wrote. His Xbox was turned off, and he learned of the breach from confirmation e-mails sent to his workplace.

Another gamer blogged about his account being breached:

"Sure enough, all of the Microsoft points that were stored in my XBL account had been spent on in game items for FIFA 11(I don’t own that game… hell, I don’t even like soccer video games) and whoever spent my MS points had then tried to purchase more. Presumably, when that purchase failed, they abandoned my account and went on to steal from some other unsuspecting gamer."

These online reports are becoming increasingly common, and Microsoft's response has been to lock down affected accounts for 25 days while the company investigates the charges. We've e-mailed Microsoft for comment, and have yet to hear back. For now, the best course of action is to keep a close eye on your account, and contact Microsoft if you see any fraudulent charges or notice FIFA-related activity in your achievement points or history."

If you're going to be a fanboy, just leave the thread.
Also Bill Gates is lol'ing right now, because he's worth almost $60 billion and you're worth absolute zero.
Funny how you're probably posting on a computer right now, and Microsoft is to thank for that.

[slayr]

It's funny because I don't use microsh1t I use Macintosh i prefer not using a malware OS that only has malicious viruses to thank it.No matter how meany billions he has his Microsoft os an products are below apple an Sony in terms of quality an inovation an always will suck.Everyone knows apple computers an os are better an Sony ps3 leaves xbox for dead an iPhone is king of smartphones,when bill gates dies no one will care but everyone did for Steve jobs.

[slayr]

What exactly has Bill Gates done besides Windows os that stands out.

[Jumanji]

You must be pretty damn stupid. I've seen some ignorant fanboys, but your head is SO far up your ass you must be staring at your rib cage.

When Bill Gates dies, millions more will care. He's not just the richest man one of the richest men in the world. He has donated billions to charity, and still continues to every day. He has left it in his will that when he passes, almost his entire fortune, nearly $60 billion, goes to charity.

Did I mention that Apple relied heavily on Microsoft when it was getting on its feet? Reason being, Bill helped Steve get his shit together with Mac's OS even though Steve decided to sue Microsoft after that.

Wanna know what Steve did with his fortune?
Used it to put himself on a top-priority list for his surgery and flew a personal jet to a top-class hospital for it.

Did I mention Steve never gave a cent to charity?
Oh, did I also mention that he lied to Steve Wozniak on a deal?

But Bill Gates, who got Steve on his feet, who donates billions to charity, who developed the most successful operating system in the world, who is completely selfless despite his insane fortune, who heads the most successful company in the world, considered Steve a friend even after Steve competed against him, stabbed him in the back, and gave nothing of his unearned fortune to the people who need it.

You were saying?

Hes not the richest man in the world I think you better do your research, He may be the richest man in america though the Iranian oil tycoons own billions more lol
