Xbox Live Security Compromised, Accounts Commandeered?

Source: Shacknews
_______________
Over the last several days, large numbers of Xbox Live users have claimed that they have been locked out of their Xbox Live accounts, in many cases with the credit cards tied to the accounts being used to purchase Xbox Live Marketplace's currency of Microsoft Points. Following online reports of Halo 2 developer Bungie's player network being compromised, Digital Munition security researcher Kevin Finisterre posted to the security-centric mailing list Full Disclosure that his account too Had Been Stolen After accounts are stolen, thieves appear to have a window of time with which to misuse the account before it is detected and banned, but even after the accounts have been banned there appears to be no real recourse for the accounts' original owners. Finisterre claimed that a Microsoft technical support representative admitted, "Hackers have control of Xbox live and there is nothing we can do about it."

It could be? But as far as I know it's no joke and if your account is stolen it gets banned and there is nothing you can do but to buy a new account
