After only one month on general sale in Taiwan, the Xbox’s security has reportedly been seriously breached by hackers, leading the firm to issue a blanket warning to the region.
According to reports surfacing overnight, almost all of the console’s security measures have been cracked, with mod-chip production about to go into full swing. Reportedly, copied games are now openly on sale in China and Taiwan, indicating that security circumvention of the Xbox is commonplace. Further reports suggest that the online securities have also been breached, a serious concern for the Xbox Live system.
Eager to be the leader of intellectual property protection in the piracy-riddled region, Microsoft’s chief Xbox officer in Taiwan, Chow Wen-Ying, has stated that the firm will aggressively pursue any individual or organisation involved in making, selling or installing mod-chips, or those producing or selling illegal games.
