If you all haven't heard yet, one of our members, Skyllus vBi had his account hacked and stolen because he received the Recon Armor from Bungie. I posted this on the MLG forums:

If you have a blog, please post it up. I've contacted Techcrunch, Joystiq, Team Xbox. Please email if you want to help get it on there. They recently publicated several articles about Privacy issues regarding Facebook and Facebook changed their policy. Show support fellas!

Hey everyone we're just thanking you for your support. The story was published on Joystiq today and we're trying to get it on Techcrunch.

Here is the article:

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/30/pro-gamer-gets-xbl-account-stolen-for-halo-3-armor/

Please email Techcrunch at to get this story published there too. I promise I won't stop until some type of action is performed on Microsoft's part.

wow i highly agree hacking for recon thats really really sad. and now bungie is going to have to either stop giving it or stop telling people who they give it to. and then someone may still see it and decide to hack it. this is a sad corrupt system we have on our hands.


p.s. the armor looks neat

p.p.s hockey thanks for clearing up the fire head thing i thought it was only armor permutations

Forgive me if I don't believe this, it is impossible for someone to hack into your account, for they would need things such as a credit card number as well as a number of other things to get the account and the only way this happens is by telling people, so again sorry but I don't fully believe the account was "hacked".



U sir are wrong wrong wrong about they needing your CC #. All they had to do was figure out what email they used for there GT along with the password and do the account recovery. Then when they recover the account all they have to do is change the email address and password.
