    Microsoft denies there’s an Xbox ban exploit.

    Several YouTubers have raised the alarm over a potential Xbox ban exploit, where people could use a third-party tool to get accounts banned. “Third party apps or tools cannot impact player enforcements, and no volume of inaccurate reports result in an enforcement,” says Kim Kunes, Xbox GM of trust and safety, in a statement to The Verge. “Only reports that have been reviewed by the Xbox Safety Team and determined to be accurate and in violation of our Community Standards result in an enforcement action such as suspension or an account ban.”
