Online gaming forums are now reportedly full of Xbox Live subscribers claiming that Live accounts linked to Windows Live ID services are being attacked by hackers. Common symptoms are gamers having their points stoler or points purchased via their stolen gamer tag.

Online gaming forums are buzzing with reports that Xbox Live accounts linked to Microsoft's Windows Live ID service are being hijacked by malicious hackers.

Kevin Finisterre, a security researcher at Digital Munition, raised the issue on the Full Disclosure mailing list over the weekend, calling attention to rumors that Microsoft's Bungie.net was the victim of a breach that exposed a portion of Xbox Live.

"Some folks are having their Microsoft points stolen and or points purchased via their stolen gamer tag," Finisterre said.
