||WARNING|| In case you haven’t heard, don’t accept friend requests or listen to messages from _neutron_. They may contain viruses. Forward to friends plz.
What damage does this virus do? Dave went on to post:
“Able to remove friends off of your friends list, Delete items off of your Hard Drive and obtain confidential Xbox Live membership information”
I think Deacon from Unscripted 360 said it best with this reply.
Yes. there’s no way to infect any Xbox 360 via voice command or link. Xbox Live messages don’t hyperlink for a reason. and i don’t know of any voice activated viruses do you?
This is the interweb at its finest hour that’s all.
So to make sure you understand. There’s no way a virus could come on Xbox Live to do that type of damage which was being spoken of. Dave Notti meant no harm as he was just trying to warn everyone but this virus is a “Fake”.
I think a virus is possible. Especially with the ability to attach a voice file, or a photo. Just replace the attachment with your virus. Doesn't sound impossible, just improbable.
