A Goldman Sachs employee allegedly used Xbox 360 chat for insider trading

If we're being honest, it's pretty clever to try and use older technology, like the original 2005 console, to commit crimes. At least, going by their logic, its outdated system would make anyone believe that it'd be more private than, let's say, an Xbox One, which was released in 2013, or the Xbox Series S/X, which came out in 2020. It's still unclear if Viggiano was correct in his assumptions, or if the FBI got ahold of incriminating evidence from their chats. It's possible that Salamone confessed after the FBI made it seem like they were already onto them and they only confirmed the contents of their audio chats after the fact.

In any case, what's clear is that the crime doesn't pay, and if you do plan on committing something illegal, it may be the best idea to communicate somewhere that you're 100% sure can't be traced, not that we're condoning it.

As for the Xbox 360, Microsoft has confirmed in the past that it will continue supporting the Xbox 360 indefinitely, so if you've been living under a rock for over a decade, you can still use the best-selling Xbox console to, at the very least, talk to your friends.

Good luck buying games for your Xbox 360 online though. Microsoft is shutting down its digital store next year.

Speaking of the Xbox, the company recently saw many of its upcoming plans leaked online, including a new controller as well as new variants of the Xbox Series S/X. Phil Spencer insists that this is just the tip of the iceberg, but it remains to be seen if the Xbox head is just trying to save face or if the Xbox really has larger plans for the future.
