  • You cannot be hacked by any user unless you specifically give them your e-mail address and password. Which you should not do under any circumstances. As long as you have not given him any of your details for your account, you are safe and cannot be hacked.

  • If this person has your IP address you should contact your Internet Service Provider.  It is your ISP that assigns your modem/router with an IP address. They can change it for you, just tell them that someone has done a denial of service attack on your Internet connection.

    Next be sure to file a complaint against this user.  Microsoft takes a dim view of this kind of activity.  Anyone found to be IP flooding other users will be subject to an account and a console ban.

    As the above poster has already stated, your account is perfectly safe as long as you do not tell anyone your Windows LIVE ID and password.  Also, only the Xbox LIVE Enforcement Team can ban a console from going online, so you don't need to worry about that.

    It's not possible to IP ban a user, since all it would take to stop the IP block would be to reset their Internet equipment or contact their ISP for a new IP address.

    It is not advisable for you to place your email address here as this is a public forum.  I have asked a moderator to remove it for your own safety.


    Got a question? Just ask.

  • In addition to the help already provided here are some links/info you may also find useful.
    No regular user on LIVE can console ban anyone so do not worry about that. The only people with the power/ability to either console or account ban are the XBLPET (LIVE police).

    The link below explains how to correctly report a user, and how to avoid them harassing you again in the future.

    What to do if your account has been stolen.

    Profiles on LIVE can not be hacked, it seems this individual is making these threats in an attempt to worry you needlessly. Please check the guides above to make sure you are doing everything that's available to ensure your account is, and remains secure.

    Also as reports on other users can not be made on the forums you should always report any player breaking the ToU/CoC using the tools on your console. Then the XBLPET (LIVE police) are made aware of these individuals and can deal with any issues.
