Kevin Finisterre on the FD mailing list has provided us with two good posts regarding apparent Xbox live accounts being stolen. So far, I haven't found any compelling evidence either way that this has or hasn't happened. Likewise nobody seems to have posted a proof of concept or really taken credit. Seems that we are in limbo. Lets hope that MS isn't covering this up. If so, we can probably all expect the "we are _really_ sorry" speech.

While we are on this topic, I'd like to remind you all about one of my 2007 predictions where I call for the need of stronger identity mechanisms for online gaming. Not only are we paying money for these online games, but they also make many people money. The service these company's like Microsoft, Sony and Linden provide are a market and need to be treated as such.
