Recon Armor - worth stealing accounts for
A pro gamer who was awarded Recon armor by Bungie for a pretty cool suicide he filmed has had his account stolen by a jerk who wanted the armor. The story on Joystiq suggests his account was 'hacked', but if you read the thread on Team vBi's forum, it becomes clear that the account was stolen by someone who called up Xbox Customer Support and somehow convinced the person on the other end of the phone that the account belonged to him, and that certain info needed changing. Having had my own personal run-ins with tech support over there, I find this totally believable - and I'm curious to see how this turns out. Hopefully, the upshot will be better phone security for Xbox Live accounts down the road. (Louis Wu 21:24:37 UTC)
