Online security has always been a major issue and something Microsoft has always been committed to. However, the recent case involving a 26-year-old man molesting a 14-year-old boy using the XBox Live chat capabilities is quite possibly the first recorded case on a game console like this. The unspeakable charges have raised people's awareness that wherever there is global communication possibilities there is also a risk. Despite the XBox Live function being a valued and loved addition to the Xbox gaming world, it is important that children's online security is taken very seriously.
