Microsoft has denied reports that its Xbox Live or Bungie.net online gaming services were hacked and assured users both the networks were safe. According to Simon Jones at NewsLocale.org, the company issued a statement saying, "Microsoft would like to reassure all of its 6 million Xbox LIVE members that despite some recent reports and speculation, the company has looked into the situation and found no evidence of any compromise of the security of Bungie.net or our LIVE network."Earlier this month, Microsoft revealed that more than six million users had signed up for Xbox Live since its launch in 2002, with over 70 per cent of the users taking advantage of Xbox Live Marketplace to download their games.
Microsoft did admit that there were attempts from attackers to hack into personal accounts but they were unsuccessful.

The post so nice you had to post it twice?
Hi Bart,
I must have hit the `Publish' button twice. Either that, or it was, er, twice the story I thought it was!
Keep smiling.
