Xbox Account Thievery With Ties to FIFA Determined Not To Be Hackings
Over the past month there has been a great deal of discussion regarding hacked Xbox accounts which have then been used in conjunction with FIFA 12 and FIFA 11's Ultimate Team modes. Both Microsoft and EA Sports have denied culpability but the issues have continued regardless of how accounts were being lost. Consumers have been seeking out an answer and that now seems to have come - though it will probably still be of little comfort to those who have had to deal with the situation personally....

Xbox Account Hackings Continue; Connection to FIFA Creates Concerns
A few weeks back on Google Plus I wrote about how thieves have been targeting Xbox accounts in order to profit from selling FIFA Ultimate Team card packs (along with spending the MS points on the account or charging the card attached for more). Instances of that haven't subsided - and it's even happened to members of the community and individuals I'm familiar with through social media channels. A lot has been made over the ties to the FIFA series as there is no doubt that it goes beyond a...
