Microsoft has announced the company has not found evidence of a security breach on its Xbox Live or Bungie.net online gaming services; gamers who had trouble with their accounts were likely duped into giving up their details to fraudsters. "There have been a few isolated incidents where malicious users have been attempting to draw personal information from unsuspecting users and use it to gain access to their Live account. We have looked into the situation and found no evidence of any compromise of the security of Bungie.net or our Live network," Microsoft said in a statement.
The statement comes a day after Microsoft said it would investigate possible fraud on its Xbox Live and Bungie.net online gaming properties. Gamers had reported that their Xbox Live accounts were hijacked and their credit cards used to buy "Microsoft Points," the virtual currency on Xbox Live. According to Microsoft, no credit card or other personal information was exposed. Microsoft also noted the usual 'dont give out your or someone elses personal information' as it can be used for illegal or harmful purposes.
