Xbox Live Director Larry Hryb, known to most as Major Nelson, saw his gamercard subject to a recent hacker attack.

Nelson's gamercard was nabbed by a hacker known as 'LiGHTzz' who quickly changed the account info to... well, rude words that Microsoft's Xbox Live figurehead wouldn't be caught saying.

At least not on his gamercard anyway - we're sure there was a bit of effing and blinding once he found out what happened.

Stephen Toulouse, Microsoft's Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox Live, revealed that they snatched back the gamercard shortly after it was hacked, yet there are no details on what happened or how it happened.

Still, it'll be interesting to read the comments on Major Nelson's website the next time he updates Xbox Live users with security guidelines and the like.
