At least that's what researchers at Drexel University have suggested when they discovered that a hacker or modder with a set of common tools will have no problems digging into your Xbox 360's hard drive and retrieving your credit card number along with other personal information. This was revealed in a phone interview conducted by Kotaku with researcher Ashley Podhradsky.
