Hackers Targeting Xbox Live
darthcamaro writes "Windows isn't the only piece of Microsoft technology that hackers are attacking anymore. During a presentation at the SecTor security conference in Toronto, a Facetime security researcher revealed numerous methods by which Xbox users are being hacked today. 'Though the Xbox doesn't have the number one market share, it is the top target for hackers,' Boyd said. 'Xbox Live has 17 million plus subscribers, and that service requires payment.'"
Don't be surprised if they keep saying it, too. Cognitive dissonance is so out of style these days.
You cannot truly appreciate Dilbert until you read it in the original Klingon.
Gamerscore isn't that hard to accumulate.
It's not hard no, but if you don't care about gamerscore and don't intentionally select games that give easy points, I'm thinking you probably won't find yourself in the 100k range. Therefore, unless you're trying to get as high a gamerscore as you can, your account isn't going to be very attractive to people who sell accounts with high gamerscores, so you wouldn't need to hide it. On the other hand, if you did have a really high gamerscore, you probably worked at it intentionally and do, like OP said, want to show it off.
That's all I was saying. And I'll say again, this shouldn't be the reason why MS doesn't offer you the option to hide your gamerscore.
