Microsoft has accused a Chinese gaming website of hacking Xbox account and Watch Deadly Pickup (2016) full movieillegally gaining virtual gaming currencies.
iGSKY, which presented itself as a gaming service website, offered players a way to pay for in-game credits and rare items across games like FIFA, Final Fantasy and Aion Kinah.

The tech giant's probe into iGSKY began in December 2016, when the company's in-house fraud investigators purchased over 11,000 FIFA points for $60, according to a report by The Verge.

Microsoft later received a notification telling them that the points were available, asking them to spend them as soon as possible.
The owner of the Xbox account contacted Xbox afterwards to complain that he had been locked out of his account, and that unauthorised transactions had taken place.
Microsoft accused Gameest International Network, the parent company of iGKSY, of engaging in "international trafficking of stolen Microsoft Account credentials", saying in their complaint they had "fraudulently obtained virtual gaming currencies."
The company added that Gameest was "reaping millions of dollars in illicit profits."
A judge has granted a temporary restraining order on Gameest, freezing its domestic assets as well as any PayPal account linked to the site.
The website has since been taken now, though it is still available to view through archives.
