Microsoft has assured its Xbox Live customers that the firm’s protection of their customer’s data is their “highest priority” following the PlayStation Network disaster that reportedly breached 77 million accounts worth of personal details.
Microsoft told Eurogamer that “the security around our Xbox Live service and member information is our highest priority.” There are over 30 million registered Xbox Live accounts around the world.
Microsoft warned Xbox Live users of “phishing” attempts on secure data with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 saying, “Users may receive potential phishing attempts via title specific messaging while playing Modern Warfare 2,” but that the service provider is aware of the problem and are working to resolve the issue.
