in light of the unbanning of all banned consoles on Xbox 360, and Sony having the biggest security breach in the history of mankind, now it seems possible that others might be taking advantage of the current "situation" to scam in on phishing attempts through Xbox Live, which has prompted Microsoft to begin issuing security warnings.

all I have to say is...smh. it's sad that we actually have people in the world who literally *live* for malicious activity.

I'm curious what makes this one so different than the other phishing attempts that go on.
