Genuinely disgusted with Microsoft's data protection !
So, when I signed up for my XBox pass on the PC I gave Microsoft my full details, so as I could pay etc, then they asked me to create a 'Gamer Tag' - This is what I believed I would be known by within their system and there games.
That was a month ago. Today, I realised that alongside my gamer tag, in my publicly accessible profile, it also read 'Real name' for everyone to see ! Not a huge issue to me personally at my age, but what about youngsters who get groomed and stuff? I mean you hear about privacy all the time these days... I couldn't believe it that they had chosen to take my 'Private Info' and display it alongside my 'Public Info'... I mean, whats the point of having a gamer tag then? I mean sure, I'll give Microsoft my full details, but I don't expect them to publicly display them for all and sundry ! Whats next? My Banks Name? Yeah, so I've 'Switched it off' now... But it shouldn't have been on display publicly by default in the first place !!! If you have kids who have a microsoft Xbox account, go check it! Your child's full real name could be out there like mine was ! |

Good way to get swatted by poor losers, can't believe they do that by default.

Never gave them my real name. What for should I do that? When I pay with VISA/MC I always enter my name like S.A.

I cant say that I have ever used any service since I first started going online in the mid 90's, where alongside your 'Chosen User Name' they have added you real name too ! Imagine setting up an account for your child and finding out that their real name was there? Someone contacts your kid, who is 'PrincessElsa2001' and starts saying 'Hey Julie, how are you? Julie Sanders yeah? I sit behind you at school... You said you like this game' etc etc... Most kids are gonna think, well they must go to my school, be the same age as me and that, cause they know exactly who I am, and how else would they know I'm PrincessElsa2001? The dangers in this are immense ! Like I said, I was legitimately shocked... |
