Hacker gets SWAT team to show up at XBox gamer's house - who's fault is it?

Not sure if you guys heard of this story or if Gamespot already produced it but here's somthing I've always wondered.

Yes, the hacker was wrong for pulling the stunt...but what about Microsoft and XBox Live, shouldn't we expect more security from XBL accounts? How about the SWAT team? Why are they being dispatched without any filtering. They got their call from a hearing-impaired message center (which can potentially be hacked as well).

What do you think?
