XBL Account Stolen For Rare Halo 3 Armour

Here’s a story that might make Mr. Geekboy feel a little bit better.Skyllus vBi, member of the professional gaming group Team vBi, has had his Xbox Live account stolen. After being recognized by Bungie for making a very popular Halo 3 video, Skyllus was awarded the incredibly rare in-game “Recon Armor“, which only Bungie employees and a select few Halo community members have. Skyllus has reportedly had his Xbox Live account hacked three times since late October.

In the latest hack into his account, he has been told by the ever unhelpful Xbox Live Customer Support team that there was nothing he could do about it. However, he has at least managed to settle for an investigation into the account.

I was just reading about this. It’s all a bit sad really, but then again, it doesn’t surprise me as Halo 3 is always full of douchebags - and that’s coming from a Halo fanboy!

Even if you steal this guys profile how are you going to get the armour from his account to your own?

Its not like you can use other people’s armour even if your on the same box. Stupid plan really.

Add the account name and when he gets on, go into his party or do something! What he did was really stupid. Get some armor, have a chance to go to jail, I say NO!
