Last night I read a post on giantbomb about how lots of xbox live accounts are being compromised recently and that all the jacked accounts have something to do with the FIFA games Article Here
This morning I woke up to 2 emails from MS, both were receipt of payment for 5000 MS points, I immediately tried to log into xbox.com where I was told my password was incorrect,
I managed to change my password and log in, the first thing I noticed was that GTA 4 PC and fifa12 were on my most recently played games, and I had an achievement in fifa 12 for opening 100 ultimate team packs,
I checked my billing history and there had indeed been 2 separate transactions for 5000 MS points and 83 premium gold UT packs had been purchased
I loaded up Fifa and in ultimate team there were a ton of items sold on my trade pile, the added up to around 13000 coins which is nothing tbh and in my watch list there were 3 accrington stanley players all at 5000 buy it now and all from a team called new york city, It looks as if this guy is the hacker
He also sold most of my team which I used my own MS points to get to an 80 rating
What is weird though is that my billing account on xbox.com says that paypal was used but my paypal is linked to an old account with no money in it and I received no emails from paypal with receipts for purchase like usual
I have phoned the bank and they can't check if anything will have gone through until tomorrow, I can only phone MS at 9am and I need to get in touch with EA to see if they will reimburse me for the points spent on the team he sold off
This is a pretty long and mostly ranting post but the gist of it is that everyone should change their passwords (especially if you play FIFA games)
*edit* figured out why paypal went through when I had no money in it, it was linked to my girlfriends account, whoops
