This seems like a possibility given what I've seen happen in the past 48 hours. Last night my live account was broken into, my usernames/passwords were changed, and $125 was deducted from my debit card. At the same time, xbox.com has been down forat least 48 hours, and registration for new xbox live accounts is closed. Does anyone else think there's something a bit off?

Xbox.com was and is still up and registration is still open

I think someone compromised your account and you should call Microsoft as soon as possible

I already called microsoft and my bank to report the fraud, and they shut down my live account until its investigated. That doesnt explain why xbox.com is down for me though, or why I cant register new xbox live accounts on my console.

There's a new issues that start hitting multiple users, i can't see any party invite/game invite/message i receive unless i check xbox.com or if i restart my console. (like it doesn't notify me when i get anything) i can connect to party but can't connect to games online.

It seems it only started this month

Sounds like your nat settings. Check on the XBL sign-in page to see if the ports are open. I'm betting they aren't.

For a while i've had my NAT setting on moderate (months ago) and i was able to receive any sort of message, game invite and even connect to games so i highly doubt its that. I'm testing a random fix i found on that topic i linked but i'll just check my NAT in case whenever i'm done recovering my profile.

EDIT: Also this problem only started happening to me...2 hours ago.

Moderate nat settings will (not can) cause the problem you are having. You need to change it to open.

What i meant is a while ago it was on "moderate" and i had no issue whatsoever, its been "Open" ever since. Still waiting for my GT to recover (its taking forever) then ill make a test and as i said, it only started happening...2 hours ago and it was all fine for the last 3 years. >_>;

Ok, but it just happens like that. Especially if your modem is over 4 or 5 yrs old.

Your account can be comprimised individually while the rest of XBLA is perfectly fine. You need to contact Microsoft.
