A hacker going by the name Reckz0r today claimed to have cracked Xbox Live, exposing confidential information for around 47 million users.
In a note posted on Pastebin, the hacker claimed to have "brutally owned" Xbox Live a few days ago, but decided to publish the data today.
Writing on Twitter, Reckz0r said Microsoft stores its passwords in a plaintext format. This person described the disbanded hacking group Lulzsec as "friends."
A Microsoft representative has told GameSpot to expect comment from the company shortly.
The hacking claims come just two days after Microsoft announced its next-generation platform, the Xbox One.

Early speculation is that it's fake, and I honestly hope that's the case.
UPDATE: Microsoft says nothing was hacked.
People shit on Sony for getting hacked when they thought their beloved XBL was unhackable. In reality, they just didn't have a reason too until the recent news of the new craptastic Xbox
