Pro gamer gets XBL account stolen for Halo 3 armor
Posted on Dec 30, 2007 under Main |
Skyllus vBi, member of the professional gaming group Team vBi, just can’t seem to catch a break. After being recognized by Bungie for making a very popular Halo 3 video, Skyllus was rewarded with the incredibly rare in-game “Recon Armor”, which only Bungie employees and a select few Halo community members have. Of course, it didn’t take long for some of the shadier members of Halo 3’s player base to grow green with envy — Skyllus has reportedly had his Xbox Live account hacked three times since late October.
The latest hack that Skyllus has suffered has been particularly difficult on him, due to Live’s uncooperative customer service. After being told that there was nothing he could do to regain control of the account, and being given the runaround for a few hours, Skyllus had to settle for the promise of an investigation into the account in question.
Keep in mind that any kind of identity theft is illegal, especially if the hacker touches the victim’s credit cards (which are easily accessible through information on an XBL account). We hope that the digital notoriety that comes from wearing rare armor in a game is worth the risk of going to real-world jail.
(Thanks to everyone who sent this in!)
