Strictly speaking, you cannot be "hacked" on Xbox LIVE that is to say no one can forcibly take your information from our servers. As for hacking threats, I defer the next part to a quote by Xbox Forum Support agent Mister Gwyther's wise words. That doesn't mean it's not important to keep your account security in good shape. It is, simply put, a way of harassing users by booting them
Being a victim of a DoS attack does not expose important account details such as log-in information and credit card numbers. NO! A DoS attack is not a form of hacking in any sense.

Please do not discuss this kind of software on the forums as it is in violation of the Code of Conduct/ Terms of Use. Attacks are launched straight to the IP address and not through the Xbox Live service. This type of attack is not Xbox Live specific, and is not launched through Xbox Live, but rather done with software which shows which displays all connected IP addresses. This requires more hardware than a single DoS attack and is a lot less uncommon across online gaming platforms. When an attack is distributed (see DDoS), it is being launched by several attackers to one target. An analogy would be it's your local area connection
The most common type of attack is ICMP flooding (aka IP flooding, ping flooding) in which, to put it simply, all internet-capable devicesĬonnected to the targeted IP Address (which could be any device connected to your home's router/gateway/modem) are kicked offline due to your bandwidth being occupied by an overwhelming number of ping/IP packets. To start, the acronym stands for Denial of Service or Distributed Denial of Service.
