Now no doubt Microsoft has this totally covered in its Terms and Conditions that you have to agree to when you sign up for an Xbox LIVE account, but did you know just how much information Microsoft shares with other Xbox 360 owners about what you’re doing? Simply put, anyone you’ve been in contact with through Xbox LIVE can subsequently see what you’re up to, regardless of whether they’re in your friends list or not. We here at HEXUS became a little anxious when the boss sent me a voice message over Xbox LIVE asking what I was doing viewing pictures through Media Connect instead of playing games on my Xbox 360. I assumed he’d made a lucky guess as he knew I was still playing around with the Xbox 360’s media functions, using Media Connect to view stored family photos from my main PC. What I didn’t realise was that he could actually see what I was doing as it was being relayed over Xbox LIVE and showing up in my profile!
