So below you’ll find 3 easy ways to hack into someone’s XBox Live account (and how to avoid being punked yourself).
1. Make People Give You Their Account Information

2. Get Someone to Trade Gamertags with You

3. Just Take a Wild Guess
Once you’ve spent time gaming with someone online you’ll notice that people naturally give away personal information. Perhaps they mention the name of the girl they’re seeing, the name of their hometown or their favorite movie. People tend to select obvious passwords. And given everyone’s tendency to use the same password for every service:
Once you get one password you’ve probably got them all. You can reek havoc on someone’s amazon, gmail, facebook, yahoo, twitter, etc
So as you can see it’s almost too easy to hack into someone’s account. You might want to protect yourself by not giving your account information away. Does this really need to be said?
