Larry Hryb, known to most as Microsoft's Major Nelson, appears to have a hacked Xbox Live account. Lewd messages in his account info fields and a YouTube video apparently walking through the steps to hack his account showed up online today.
Kotaku spotted the weirdness on Hryb's account not too long ago. They also report that the supposed hacker is offering to hack other Xbox Live accounts for $60.
Chances are, Major Nelson isn't aware of the issue yet as we only just got back from PAX East, ourselves. Nevertheless, we've put in a request for comment with Major Nelson and are keeping an eye on our Xbox Live account just in case anybody has it in for us and $60 to put toward the cause of printing profanity in our Name or Location fields.
Here's the video walkthrough:
UPDATE: Microsoft confirmed to us that the account had been compromised in "a very specific and very targeted [attack] to Major Nelson's account." They regained control of the account this morning and the above video was pulled from YouTube. The alleged hacker still has the video up on his site along with an angry message that reads "I DARE YOU FILE COMPLAINTS ON ME BANNED ME IF U CAN MY MAIN."
