Major Nelson’s gamertag hacked

Xbox’s Larry Hyrb, aka Major Nelson has had his Xbox Live account profile hacked.

VG247 states that is profile now claims that any Live account could be hacked for $100 via Paypal, and states, ‘I’M A FAGGOT’.

Hyrb has now regained control of his profile, and Live enforcement say they are looking into the matter. This is the second major breach of Live recently, after a Dublin couple were unwittingly sent child pornography in a message through the service.

He tweeted earlier, “A fun last night at PAX East! Thanks to everyone who has asked, but my account it now fine. Thx to @Stepto and team who are investigating.”
