Could Xbox Live Be Hacked after PlayStation Hacking? Real Danger for Xbox Live users

Could Xbox Live Be Hacked after PlayStation Hacking? Real Danger for Xbox Live users
Amid the PSN outage chaos, its understandable that Xbox Live users may fear if they will be next.
NowGamer attempted to contact Microsoft this morning for an official statement on whether or not Xbox Live could be a target of similar hacking attempts. It comes as an Xbox Live security alert went live on the official Xbox.com website this morning. Read NowGamer's report on the alert here.
In case you're concerned about your Xbox 360 account suffering the same kind of intrusion that PSN accounts have, the official Xbox.com security guidelines run down a list of common sense steps you can take now, if you are fearful of a similar attack.
The official Xbox.com website recommends:
That you keep your real name and personal details a secret and refrain from giving them out over Xbox Live.
Refrain from responding to any messages over Xbox Live or email asking your for personal details.
Change your password regularly.
A full list of security measures can be found on the official Xbox.com security page here.
UPDATE: Microsoft declined to comment on the PlayStation Network issues, either directly or with regards to Xbox Live.
