Some Xbox Live members experienced system down time.
Reportedly, Xbox Live was down for a while. Users encountered issues on Live TV, Groove or Movies and TV video store, including browsing, purchasing, downloading and streaming on Xbox Live SegmentNext reported.
"We're aware that some of you are having trouble launching certain titles. We're working to correct this ASAP! Thanks for your patience in the meantime. We'll update you as soon as we know more," Microsoft wrote on Xbox Live's support page quoted by Attack of the Fanboy .
After the issue went viral on social media, Microsoft was quick to address the issue as these features are now available. However, as of this writing IGN app is still limited to Xbox 360 users, according to Xbox Live's support page.
Aside from the Xbox Live being down, Microsoft allegedly leaked user's certificate keys. The Redmond tech giant did not disclose how they have let this information slip through their system. Instead, it warned Xbox Live users for "possible attacks," according to BBC .
"Microsoft is aware of an SSL/TLS digital certificate for *.xboxlive.com for which the private keys were inadvertently disclosed," Microsoft's security warning read.
"The certificate could be used in attempts to perform man-in-the-middle attacks. It cannot be used to issue other certificates, impersonate other domains, or sign code. This issue affects all supported releases of Microsoft Windows. Microsoft is not currently aware of attacks related to this issue."
It further added, versions of Windows including Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Phone platforms will also receive updates with new certificate trust lists once Microsoft issues a fix.
For the meantime, users are advised not to log-in at Xbox's main website, Tweak Town reported.
"To help protect customers from potentially fraudulent use of the SSL/TLS digital certificate, the certificate has been deemed no longer valid and Microsoft is updating the Certificate Trust list (CTL) for all supported releases of Microsoft Windows to remove the trust of the certificate," the post continued.
