Some users have reported that they’ve received emails from Microsoft stating that their accounts may have been compromised and should change their Xbox Live passwords.

After being revealed last week, people are still unsure how the scammers managed to get hold of customer’s personal information, billing information and gamertags.

Unlike rival Sony, who earlier this year were the subject of a long-running security problem which took down the PlayStation Network, this intrusion of the Xbox Live network is very minor in comparison.

A Microsoft spokesperson has said, “We take the security of the Xbox Live service seriously and work to improve it against evolving threats. Very occasionally, though, we are contacted by members regarding alleged unauthorised access to their accounts by outside individuals. We can confirm that only a small percentage of Xbox Live customers have been affected here in the UK.”

The service has unfortunately been suffering from server outages and faltering systems since launch, but the in depth stats tracker nwo has a ‘Green’ status, meaning it’s almost completely operational.

In the past few days, the operational level has increased to around 95 percent, but there are still a few issues with clain invites so a fully operational service is expected within the next week or so.

The Microsoft Kinect sold over 8 million units in the first three months of sales, but since then only 2 million more sales have been added to the record sheet. This means that with the PlayStation Move slowly creeping past the 9 million units mark, it could soon be the more popular motion-sensing peripheral on the market.

It’s fair to say that the PlayStation Move didn’t make as big a mark as Sony had hoped, but over the course of the year sales have steadily increased.

Sony better hope that Microsoft don’t unveil their Kinect enabled TVs any time soon, otherwise they’ll be right back at the start again.
