XBOX has been Hacked!
From what I can tell there are 1,009 GamerTags with passwords and email addresses. I am unsure how many of them are real and how many are just fake or if they are all fake. I do know if you have an XBOX account and you want to know if your account is hacked you can go to Pastebin and hit Control-F and either enter your GamerTag or email address.
Change your Password!
If you need to change your password on your XBOX account, all you really need to do is reset your live account. Somethings to remember when changing your password is to have a difficult password and also something that can have a Dictionary Attack on it. This has happened in the past with Xbox having accounts being hacked, it actually happened in 2007. I recommend using something like Lastpass to create a very strong password that is hard to crack. I know the pain of entering that password into XBOX but that is one way no one will gain access to your account!
