The hacking of online IDs have been going on for some time in the world of MMOs but recently the big security holes of console gaming became more apparent and now hackers are going after gamertags. Recently I was a victim of hacking and the points were used to purchase expensive Map Packs.

Maybe it’s a sign of the times, or maybe it’s a sign that DLC has become way too expensive, but last week a hacker got access to my Xbox Live Account to purchase 6000 Microsoft Points, and then used those points to buy two Black Ops Map Packs. I happened to be playing Black Ops at the time, so I was able to catch them before they purchased more, but in the span of 15 minutes, they charged $75 to my credit card.
