Has Xbox Live Been Hacked?

With Xbox Live currently down for a lot of users and twitter going mad with people saying "Xbox Live is down", Avast Anti Virus is currently reporting the Xbox.com website has a harmful Trojan Horse on it.

Has the Xbox website, and possibly Xbox Live been taken down by some attack?

I'm sure its just some maintenance. This is exactly why Sony tells people when they are doing maintenance, So idiots don't go into a crying, whining, over-exaggerated freakout.

killershadow1175530d ago (Edited 5530d ago )

This is the first time Xbox live has been down without the community knowing so take your trolling somewhere else.
*Edit* Just tried to connect and I can connect to Xbox live just fine, don't know what it is but it definitely hasn't been "hacked".

B1663r5530d ago

I can verify, xbox.com works from both my computer and xbl is working fine on the xbox as well.

This is a BS article.

Bigpappy5530d ago

They are about to launch a spring update to live. It will include a lot of Kinect features like Avatar Kinect and updates to Netflex, Hulu and so on. M$ will be doing Kinect related updates all year and they also talked about updating the network after droping online support for old xbox games.

No hack yet fellas, sorry.

Bob5705530d ago

Microsoft sends a message to all Xbox LIVE accounts about a week in advance before they do maintenance.

pixelsword5530d ago (Edited 5530d ago )

I hope not, that sucks.

I'm getting a little sick and tired of people who want to wreck everyone else's fun.

AGamerOfConsoles5529d ago

I have been on and off with Xbox Live. I use Sky as my connection and I can see in the update its part of the pattern.

A sad day indeed for some XBL users. Hopefully it will get better though.

.
Maybe I have a special xbox because it's running right now, OR, maybe the haters are bored today. Crysis 2 sure looks pretty this morning.

Tony-Red-Grave5530d ago

no need to make a fanboy rant maybe xbl had a problem ealier who knows but if the article is BS heres an idea dont click it and go back to playing games

Blaze9295530d ago

everything works for me...

Solid_Malone5530d ago (Edited 5530d ago )

hmmm, some reason, msn and outlook dont seem to be working for me. Can anyone else check if it works for them please?

EDIT: hmm, seems like they've mentioned the problems im getting in the update, tbh i dont think its a hack, i think its to do with the clocks going one hour forward, since the author of the article does mention its only effected people in the UK.

EDIT AGAIN: Actually everything seems to be working fine now. Hmm strange stuff

thorstein5529d ago

It must be the Apocolypsbox... hehehe see what I did there. They had the ApocolyPS3 and I did this.... I am so Epic.. Oh ho ho, I came up with that all my own.....

Meh.

Poe is obvious Poe

Bout time xbox had some attention. Just because the ps3 doesn't like leap years it gets picked on

kyl2775530d ago

No matter what they probably won't admit it or they will use it as a scapegoat to do something bad like increase live fees for "increased security"

lugia 40005530d ago (Edited 5530d ago )

There is no virus on xbox.com neither there is people that cannot access live. I smell bs article.

Edit, the only people that can´t access live are ppl from UK.

badz1495530d ago

you do realize that is still A LOT of people who can't access XBL, right?

theonlylolking5530d ago

When I logged on my xbox it says XBL under maintenance some features are currently unavailable.

plb5530d ago

Doubt it but just imagine if someone posted all live user account info online...what a nightmare that would be.

pixelsword5530d ago

I hope not. I really hope not. :(

You forgot to add "thank God" at the end of the headline.

tomr29923264d ago

Indeed... Praise the Lord!

V0MIT_M0NSTER3264d ago

So glad that they won't mess with Banjo anymore.

-Foxtrot3263d ago

So you wouldn't want a proper Banjo-Threeie, Jade Empire or Kameo 2...really?

AZRoboto3263d ago

Or Crimson Skies. That was the shiz

FallenAngel19843264d ago

It's a shame we can't get another Banjo-Kazooie game

-Foxtrot3263d ago

Literally one that's called Banjo-Threeie and they start the game with Kazooie waking up in distress telling Banjo of a hardly nightmare while recapping Nuts and Bolts.

PhoenixUp3264d ago

Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own

AZRoboto3263d ago

I don't think "longrunning" is really necessary... Isn't Blinx the only one that got a sequel?

darthv723263d ago

Blinx needs to return if at least to show up Bubsy.

ninsigma3263d ago

Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!

Paytaa3263d ago

Jet Set Radio Future was only on Xbox. Fantastic game. Even better than Jet Set Radio for the Dreamcast in my opinion. Such a good soundtrack too

ninsigma3263d ago

Game was beast and deserves to come back on current gen. And hell yeah plus one for that soundtrack!

Review: Table Top Racing: World Tour (Xbox One) by The Gamerscore Whores

Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
