Microsoft is investigating findings by researchers that its Xbox 360 gaming console permanently stores credit card numbers on its hard drive. The alleged security flaw was revealed by researchers at Drexel and Dakota State universities. Microsoft discounted the researchers’ findings, saying it’s unlikely credit card data was recovered by the method described.

The researchers say gaming consoles, just like PCs, need proper sanitization processes to fight identity theft.”]
