Well it is good they will have "more security" on their One games than 360 games but I don't really know what that means. Was hacking online games such a problem? I didn't think it was. Apart from the Call of Duty issue I didn't see it as much of a problem (that is more CODs end than Microsoft's fault)
Microsoft had their own issues with security. Everyone said that it was just people falling for scam sites, but once Major Nelson and other employees got hacked (and also Pachter and others), it was pretty clear that this wasn't the case.
And like jmc8888 said, they were talking about themselves, not competition.
Wow, that Lukas is bitter... of course he is going to say those things, hes behind it... you expect Toyota CEO to tell you to buy a Honda? Man your stupid...
Getting your password phished and having an entire online service hacked/shut down are 2 different things entirely. I swear some of you fanboys reach way to hard...
There were a few hacks. Like quick switch or something like that, I don't remember what's it called. It involves disconnecting and quickly connecting again. Which allows you to make the game lag and shoot people. There was even a special tool for it.
That's not really hacking... It's social engineering, it's a problem with any acount (banking, credit etc) but has more to do with customer service than technical insecurities.
Of course MS isn't going to detail them their latest security enhancements. That is like asking if Sony would release their DRM scheme technology to the public to scrutinize?
Of course not!
In my opinion, that is a stupid question. MS nor Sony will comment much on their new security.
Sad thing is, you'll get all the agrees for being nothing more than a smart ass... truth means nothing here... PS4 could be Hitler and you fanboys will still drool over it...
That's fine! Thing is, it's all talk at this point, Microsoft doesn't know how secure the ps4, is going to be. It's a new platform! I have all threeccurrent gen systems, and there there all good. The slim xbox360 is a great machine. Doesn't mean I can't call Microsoft out when say stupid st***
if he is a moron then you must be a spoilt brat...atleast have some respect dude..what have these sony or ms execs ever done to you..why you guys take your fanboyism too seriously even going over the edge is beyond me...now you call someone doing his job a moron cos you dont like what he has to say...smh...next time do try to post reasonable comments without insulting these guys..he was asked about security on xbx live and i saw nothing wrong in the way he answered the question..if you were in his shoes who knows you might have done a lot worse..besides being a microsoft employee,the guy is also a family man and a gamer..i listen to his podcasts and watch his interviews..so dude have some respect...
Give us a detailed rundown of every little thing and how it works?
You know, because that wouldn't help people exploit it or anything... /sarcasm
He just says "more security" because that is all the average person needs to know. We don't need to know HOW it works, we just need to know it is there.
The quality of Xbox live is one reason I'm buying a Xbox one. Xbox live has never been hacked the way PSN was a couple years back when its users were unable to use PSN.
I am sure that EVERY network has been hacked to some point or another... Using the methods described in the link you sent, you would be caught very quickly. And frankly that is an ex-employee using MS' private network. No hacker with any morales would ever hack something using that "whimpy" way. Hackers pride themselves in taking advantage of real exploits that anyone can access.
There is one very clear fact... PSN was completely hacked down, and the network was out for three weeks while sony finally woke up and took security seriously.
PS network crash is one of the main reasons I'm not buying a ps4. My ps3 network went down and I had no multiplayer for weeks. Xbox live is at least more reliable and faster.
That does not mean it's invincible. Anything is susceptible to hacking. Just because it doesn't happen on Xbox Live doesn't necessarily make it the best.
Yeah Sony got hacked and brought down a month but my biggest issue was that they didn't tell people for a week. Anybody can get hacked. I'm still buying a PS4 and hope they got their shit together.
Well it is good they will have "more security" on their One games than 360 games but I don't really know what that means. Was hacking online games such a problem? I didn't think it was.

Straws. They are being grasped at.
Hahahahaaaa rofl
At this point all one can do, is laugh at these articles!
