The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Unseal the hushed casket of my soul...

You have got to be kidding me.

I come home from school today to find that I can't sign into Windows Live. Want to know why? Somebody has stolen my password and changed it.

Who the Hell is xKMKKx Vanessa?

Somebody has stolen my Windows Live account, and thus, have possession of my Xbox Live Gamertag and changed it. I tried to sign into Xbox Live through my 360 and my fears have been confirmed; somebody has recovered my account from another location. They may very well have my credit card information as well.

EDIT: The situation has been rectified. All is well again, thank you.

I can almost guarantee nobody reading this forum can help you. You need to call 1-800-4MYXBOX and your credit card company.

I would also suggest that when you do change your password you use 2 capitals, two lower case, two numbers and two special characters to make it less likely to be stolen agian.

Sweet. Sounds like it was a relatively painless process.

It probably would have been, were it not for the fact that the bastards charged my father's credit card $62.50, which is going to bounce considering there's no money in that account.

Just call the credit card

Just call the credit card company and dispute the charge, should be taken off pretty quickly.

Wow, I have been owned. In addition to changing my Gamertag, the asshole that stole my account purchased Cyberball 2072 and Fatal Fury Special, two of the worst Xbox Live Arcade games I've ever had the misfortune to play. Wow. Let's just ignore the fact that I have seven games purchased over Xbox Live and I can download them as many times as I want to any console and purchase more crappy games I don't need.

Ugh, it could have gone worse. She could have wasted points on Call of Duty 3 themes.
