A new Xbox 360 hack that was released recently allow players to edit their gamertag, add achievements and change their gamerscore.
“With a middle finger raised in Microsoft’s direction.
I set up an Xbox Live Silver account for one of my sons in April 2007, using a Windows Live ID linked to one of my email addresses.
This Christmas, he asked for and got an Xbox Live 12-month card so he could play online.
However, when I try to enter the code, it says it can’t connect to Xbox Live.
(Which is BS, because I can do it with the other profiles in the system.) After a half hour on the phone with MS’s highly scripted but ultimately useless 1-800-4MYXBOX folks, they told me that the Windows Live ID “hadn’t been used in so long that it expired.
” As a result, my son’s Xbox Live Gamertag, which logs into Xbox Live just fine to record his achievements, is permanently unable to be turned into a Gold account.
So, MS’s customer service tells me they can’t/won’t reactivate the WLID. And that they can’t/won’t change the gamertag to another WLID. In fact, when I asked the 1-800-4MYXBOX binder-jockey whether my son’s Gamertag could be moved to a new Windows Live ID, the response was that I could go to Xbox.com and “try.”
Since I know for a fact that it is not possible for a Gamertag to be associated with another WLID through that website, I was basically being told to get lost.
Thanks for wasting a half-hour of my time, gents.
And thanks for leaving me in the position of telling my son that a year and a half of achievements and save games are now useless if he wants to actually use his Christmas gift.
Which leads me to my warning: if you claimed a gamertag you thought you might want someday, or just got a Silver “for now,” but haven’t been using the Windows Live ID you created to get the tag, there is a good chance it expired and your tag is now permanently orphaned, stuck in the purgatory created by Xbox Live’s absolute dependence on a WLID that might not be around the next time you want to use it.
And if anyone from Joystiq or Kotaku is reading, would you mind asking MS how many of these millions of Xbox Live accounts that they brag about having are actually useless accounts linked to a dead WLID? If MS is making representations about online market share or potential revenues based on a total number of gamertag accounts that includes a significant number of impossible-to-activate accounts, it should probably correct them.”

We’ve reached out to Xbox Live’s community team for comment regarding the possible breach of Xbox Live Accounts. Should any further information break regarding this possible security risk we will make sure to bring it to you. For now the best advice would be to check your Xbox Live account and make sure that your password still works and that no unauthorized purchases have been made on the Marketplace under your account.
Sounds more like some third party got hacked and people use same password & username combination
"The hacker group Lulz Security is claiming it released log-in information for 62,000 private internet accounts Thursday, including Facebook, PayPal, dating sites, Xbox Live and Twitter."
"Responding to the news Friday, PayPal Canada stressed through a spokesman that its site security has in no way been breached.
"The hacker acquired usernames and passwords via another, less secure site, and is encouraging criminals to try the username/password combinations on PayPal.com."
