The Sun‘s cabal of sleazy liars hate being dismissed, and when they’ve got an axe to grind, they’ve demonstrated they’ll pursue their victims withfrightening obsession. Microsoft is the latest target, with the tabloid accusing it of a “cover up” after earlier claims ofXbox Live hack attackswere brushed off.
“Dozens of angry readers contacted [us] to tell how crooks bought Microsoft Points on their accounts to trade on to users in countries like China, Nigeria and Russia — even though they didn’t pass on any personal details or visit phishing websites.” said theSun, ignoring the fact that nobody wouldadmitto being stupid enough to hand their personal details to a phisher.
The Sunbacked up its “exclusive” story by taking old news reports from October, concerningFIFA 12and phishing attempts committed on Xbox Live and EA.com. Wow, that’s an amazing “exclusive” there!
Microsoft has yet again denied that Xbox Live has been hacked, but stated that it’s examining Xbox Live refund policies for those who have been phished. Meanwhile, theSunwill continue to do what it does best — be shit.
Now The Sun claims ‘Xbox fraud cover up’… But it’s still old news[CVG]
