Major Nelson: "Our customers deserve better"

Microsoft respond to ‘social engineering’ problem

Microsoft’s Xbox Live guru Major Nelson has apologised to Xbox 360 owners after a security researcher uncovered failings in the company’s customer support line.

Well, it looks like Microsoft is pushing their fans away... With the known crappy 360 realibility/Extra DLC FEEs/Unfinished games, and now lack of security. I'm not a happy 360 owner.

This is the downside to frequenting multiple forums, I was sure I'd posted that here :lol:

The good news is that the acknowledged the issue, I am a little pissed they didn't spill the beans earlier and stop the internet from going crazy with LIVE HACKED! stuff everywhere.

Like I said a week ago...

Step 1: Deny the problem
Step 2: Say the problem only effects a few (or blame the user)
Step 3: Admit the problem, praise themselves for fixing it

From the tiny bit I saw on this, since I didn't follow it at all, it sounded like some Halo 2 clan nerds went after a specific few people who had gotten them banned. I am hardly concerned over security.

You're right, they're actually out to get you.

it's not that.. but these things aren't driven by consumers...

Apathy. If it doesn't happen to you, you don't care.

I may have been the same way before I was one of the people bricked by the fall update.

Microsoft has been doing that for YEARS with their PC software, why would the gaming market be treated any different?!!!
