The Broken Ska Record

Looks like my Xbox Live Account was hacked this afternoon. When I went to go check my email, about an hour ago, I got something from Microsoft about 4000 MS point activation confirmation. I thought it was odd since I haven't bought points since early May. I go to xbox.com first to make sure everything is "okay." It showed I had 1 point left and the last game I "played" was Fifa '11, which I don't own.
So I go to change my password and security question and then I log into billing.microsoft.com to see where the points went. Looks like they bought a 4000 point bundle and another 6000 point bundle. After that, it basically shows this:
I called Xbox Support and they are filing an Unauthorized Access claim on my account and I should find something out in 1-15 days. Until then they are locking my account, so I can't access Xbox Live/Windows Live during that time. Tomorrow, I need to call my bank to claim fraudulent charges.
After some searching on Google by a friend, he found that this was fairly common. People accessing other people's account purchasing Ultimate Team card packs and selling them on Ebay. I didn't find anything about this here, but I did find a thread on Giant Bomb. So watch out.
