New Borderlands 2 patch protects against Xbox 360 save-corrupting "virus"

[wraggster]

Last week Gearbox warned players (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-10-29-borderlands-2-xbox-360-virus-spreading-deleting-player-saves) about playing its hit open-world co-op shooter with strangers after a it was discovered that hacking certain save files on the Xbox 360 to unlock a "hardcore mode" resulted in players losing their save files. Anyone killed by these "infected" players met the same fate.The Texas-based developer just announced a new patch that should put the kibosh on this unfortunate "virus."According to the developer's support page (http://support.gearboxsoftware.com/entries/22147216-xbox-360-update-information), the latest update "Added security to prevent data loss tied to malicious violations of the Xbox Live Code of Conduct through an unsupported third-party program."In other words, it's safe to go outside.
