“We do not have any evidence the Xbox LIVE service has been compromised,"

"However, a limited number of members have contacted us regarding unauthorized access to their accounts by outside individuals."

So is "unauthorized access" not a compromise, or what?

It could be someone guessing your password, in which case the security hasn't been compromised.

My account was "hacked" on monday, called microsoft today (had to work past few nights) They are going to reimburse me for the points stolen. Luckily my credit card on the account is already expired so they weren't able to charge more to my account.

THE downside is that the "investigation" period can take up to 25 days during which I won't be able to use my account.

THIS SUCKS!
