Sheriff deputies, on Dec. 28, said a county resident reported a substantial amount of money in charges on a Xbox account linked to her credit card.

Xbox is a gaming console capable of connecting to a TV or other display media. 

Microsoft employees say that people using Xbox can remove passwords from other Xbox consoles remotely so that others cannot access your account without your permission.
