Well that's dickish. Boycotting prick media companies sounds like a more and more appealing option every day.

Really, Microsoft are completely stupid fuckwits.

1. I was told the xbox account was blocked
2. I was told the rogue email address added to my account was to be removed
3. I was told they would contact me via my new email and would not add this to xbox

So, I get an email tonight (in chinese) asking to added my new email address to xbox, sent to my original and the hackers account. I also find that my xbox account isn't blocked either ::)

So, next I'll find a great email from microsoft saying your account is now open, here's your password and a voucher code for loads of credits and is emailed to me and the hacker.

There's no better way to get people to read your message than to twist it, isn't it? :)

Actually its a great way to get me to ignore a message. Too damn lazy to copy the text, and paste into a website to do the rot13.

Who needs a website? I thought you ran Linux.

When I was last at my bank speaking to a financial adviser, she openly admitted to me that she was having trouble typing in a password, and complained about how many different passwords they have to use (she knew at this point that I was a software developer). I kind of laughed inside as I watched her re-type her password a couple of times, with her keyboard in plain sight of me after having just told me she was typing passwords. :P I didn't bother trying to observe the passwords she typed, but I certainly could have.

I really admire the U.S. Constitution. It's so much better than what we have now.

I have a plugin for Opera for decoding rot13. It makes it much easier.

You'd actually have to install that program.

Some distros don't have it? Or is it part of BSD games or something? (chose to install that)

Looks like its part of bsdgames.

Found out how my xbox got hacked. Apparently it was an exploit in the Captcha system in the web login screen. So no matter how secure my computer or password is, it was irrelevant. People were harvesting gamertags from online play and trying to find email addresses that linked them somehow and applied that to the Captcha.

Of course, Microsoft are still pretending there's no fault.
