With the PSN being down for almost more than 3 weeks hackers are now attacking Xbox Live users.

There has been a large amount of reports that Xbox Live accounts linked to Microsoft’s Windows Live ID service are being hijacked by malicious hackers.

Kevin Finisterre on of the security researchers at Digital Munition,  has raised red alert on the  issue of Full Disclosure mailing list over the weekend, calling attention to rumours that Microsoft’s Bungie.net was the victim of a breach that exposed a portion of Xbox Live.

Finisterre  has also reported that gamers are loosing Microsoft Points or getting charged for purchases on their stolen account.
