Microsoft Experiences Their Own Server Issues

Let’s take a break from the Sony talk for the next 10 minutes and let’s talk about Microsoft.  You see, not everything can fall on Sony’s shoulders because Microsoft are having some problems of their own.

Even though it’s not nearly to the scale of where the PSN meltdown is, there has been an attempt to collect personal information through Microsofts Xbox 360’s online servers.  It is said that Microsoft issued a Service Alert today to warn users of the risk.  Apparently, there has been a phising attempt inside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

“Users may receive potential phising attempts via title specific messaging while playing Modern Warfare 2,” says the message on the Xbox Support website.

With all of the frequent twitter questions, Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling commented and said, “We have a patch in the process of testing for release that should be out soon to address.”

Also, Microsoft put out a comment on the issue as well, “We are aware of the problem and are working to resolve the issue, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.”

Hmmmm, where have we heard that before?
