I doubt that crap would happen, Microsoft is a well arranged company and it will defend their services.

Even if there is an attack in the works, I'm sure Microsoft is already taking additional precautions to make sure that this doesn't happen, given the recent events with Sony.

The phishing attempts in Modern Warfare 2 are the closest thing to an attack we'll see for a while I'm sure. Although with all the crap the internet is going through right now, I wouldn't be surprised if XBL has some issues soon.

a group of devoted hackers could effortlessly take it down if they tried hard enough...

Considering how bad the attack was on Sony, whether they admit it or not, I'm sure that MS is checking their security to be safe.

Nope, not at all

Microsoft keeps it's user info behind it's main wall that houses all of Microsoft's info. The only thing a hacker could do is take down Live which is a problem but not a huge deal where personal info and credit card numbers are now in the hands of various people.

So no, it wouldn't have been "almost or just as bad"

Anything can be hacked if someone has enough persistence. Security is something that is pretty much outdated soon after it goes in. The problem is, security flaws aren't usually noticed until someone else points them out. It sucks, but nothing is really foolproof from "attacks."

Do you just randomly pull things out your arse so you can attempt to add something to the conversation? We pay for xbox live thus the security is much tighter than the crap security the PSN has. Im sure your hacker friends that could easily tap M$ already know this. This is not to say that it can't happen but it would be much more difficult. Oh and don't forget Sony pissed off the hackers, M$ didn't.

Well, with there so many more XBL users, I think it's safe to say that they wouldn't let the info get taken so easily. Besides, I think M$ saw what happened to the PSN and is making their system "full proof."

My dad is good friends with Bill Gates and Bill told him not to worry cos he's got it sorted.;)

He gave us a software update for XBL so if someone tries to hack our account,this program reverses it and actually hacks the hacker and steals all their info.8)

xbl is 1000 times harder to kill because when the main server goes down a 2nd comes on and when it does, it makes every 360 hooked up to internet a mini server so that way its harder to fail. when they fix the servers this is what happens.
