Well, I don't know why, but I knew this for a long time and never talked about it. I just wanna share a few tips with you guys on how to keep yoor acount safer from hackers.
1. Make a new email account ONLY to be used for your XBL gamertag. This isn't really necessary, but I like it.
2. Never and I mean never, give your info to ANYONE. No matter who they are. Even if they say their from microsoft or from turtle beach or whatever. There aren't many reasons why anyone would need both your email and password.
3. Have your password contain a combination of lowercase, uppercase, and numbers. For example, you could do your name and favorite number like JoHn12. It's easy to remember, but hard to guess.
4. Have the answer to your secret question be completely irrelevant. If the question was "What is your middle name?" make the answer be "dundermifflinftw". Who's middle name is dundermifflinftw?(I've been watching to much of "The Office")
5. One of the most important things is to never enter your info in any site that isnt xbox.com. Obivously forums.xbox.com is ok but makes sure the "xbox" and "com" are joined together by a period. Sorry, but xbox.t35.com isn't gonna cut it (You other hackers know what I'm talking about, lol)
I encourage you guys to post more ways to keep your account hacker safe. I can't really think of any more ATM but I will update this whenever I can. And don't flame if you don't like it, I was just trying to spread knowledge. It would be better to give some constructive criticism. :thumbup:
