Major Nelson :
Reminder: Update Your Security Information
I wanted to make sure that you saw this letter from Alex Garden that was posted today, and more importantly remind you to check your security information and update it if necessary.

Materia da IGN :
Microsoft has announced new upgrades to Xbox Live security, and recommends that all users change their passwords. According to a new blog post from Xbox Live general manager Alex Garden, notifications to members whose accounts may be compromised have been increased, and Microsoft will also allow members to set a unique security code to be sent to their phone or email in order to verify purchases and account changes.
Microsoft has also taken legal action to pull down publicly posted gamertags, usernames and passwords and is also prosecuting anyone who is selling or buying Xbox Live accounts (a problem that has persisted recently). Garden notes that “many of our security enhancements and recovery processes are dependent on our members having valid, up-to-date security information in place” and strongly recommends that all users check their account info on Xbox.com to verify that it’s current and change their password if they haven’t recently. He also recommends that users update their account security proofs.
“It’s a good idea to change your password if you haven’t done so recently, and make sure to use a different username and password for Microsoft versus other online services you access,” Garden writes. “This way if one company does experience a security breach, your leaked credentials won’t be used against you on other sites. Finally, help the people in your life who may be less security savvy by sharing suggestions like not using common words for passwords. Sadly, ‘password’ and ‘12345’ are still top of the most common password lists when we see breaches occur and passwords posted online.”
Garden concludes by adding that “our resolve at Microsoft to battle fraud and our commitment to account security is stronger than ever” and encourages users to email him with any views or concerns.
