This isn't useless Thaggle's thanks for the write up. Really opened my eyes to what could actually happen to my account if I said something wrong to the wrong person <3

Thanks Thaggles,

Thanks for the info about how to prevent hacking

I have a guy on my friends list who says he knows how to hack, he said he doesn't hack people for no reason only if they don't pay up for a 50 if they are buying one or whatever. I asked him what does he use to hack and he told me he does it using a computer and by finding out what the Ip of the account he wants to hack is.

This was great idea.

Someone tell me how i can stop this.

About a month ago, i pooped on some guys in team snipers or something. They invite me in their party after and idk why, but i joined. Then this guy says " i dont like kids who talk shit, you know what happens to kids who talk shit? they get hit". He then reads off the home adress of one of my friends in the party with me. So i leave 20 seconds later get a message saying bye bye internet.
Of course in lik 20 seconds i get kicked off live. And the next day when i go on my computer, there is not only a virus, but gay porn icons on the desktop. (my mom found em first too.... so it was wierd) I know it was the guy from live cuz it happend to my friend in the party also.

I know he ip flooded me or something. but is there anything i can do to stop it?

It cost 100 fkn dollars for some indian guy to fix it.

Another method is getting your IP Address and somehow finding information on your account via IP. Fortunately for me, I am at a university where thousands of people are on the internet and on Xbox Live so this is an advantage I have.

What they do with your IP adress is find out where you live so that they can then pose as you to the people at xbox support and then use as you said social engineering to convince them that they are you seeing as you know details that not many people would know. to prevent this just dont put your real country as your area on your windows live ID.

another way to stop your account being hacked at all is to call up xbox and pretend to them that your account is being hacked as you speak, they will then give you a 4 digit code which they promise not to share with anyone and everytime you call up for something to do with your account. This is the safest way pretty much.

If you are ever in the middle of getting host-booted, switch off your router/modem straight away, otherwise it could cause some permanent damage.
