“Microsoft is committed to providing customers with safe and secure online experiences.

iGSKY delivered the credentials to Microsoft’s investigations team in an email, along with instructions to spend the points as soon as possible.

“Shortly after that, the original owner of the account contacted Xbox customer support, complaining that he had been locked out of his account and unauthorised purchases had been made,” the report noted. Based on that evidence, Microsoft has brought charges of fraud.
