Microsoft has issued a service alert for players using the matchmaking feature of Modern Warfare 2. Please be advised that users may receive potential phishing attempts via title specific messaging.
From Microsoft - "We are aware of the problem and are working to resolve the issue."
This comes after the Playstation network (Sonys online gaming service) being brought down by hackers 6 days ago. You can be sure that Microsoft is taking the threat seriously and is attempting to avoid a similar incident. However there appear to be cracks appearing in Microsofts security shield everyday. Reports of consoles once outlawed (banned from using the Xbox Live service due to illegal modifications of the unit) being able to once again access Xbox Live.
Will Xbox be next?
