I was playing sea of Theives and my open crew random invited to a party which I thought he was in with friends I joined he said my names and where I lived then he said my wifi will go out and 10 seconds later I did I later figured out that was a Ddos attack and im really mad as I lost my treasure to this and want him banned and in prison.
Ddosed
If you join a voice chat through the XBox app, people can get your IP because the connections are peer-to-peer I believe. If they have your IP they can flood your network with ping and other nonsense requests until your internet goes down.
They can't get your name and address from that information though, so they got that some other way.

DoS and DDoS attacks on Xbox One FAQ
I stand corrected. They can get your IP and execute a DoS attack (DDoS if there are multiples), but your personal information probably came from another source. Your real name is publicly tied to your GT somewhere online. Your IP address just doesn't provide that kind of information.
Report them to Microsoft. This is potentially a ban-able offense, in addition to a felony (I believe). Report them to Sea of Thieves support as well.
And when I say Report them, I don't mean posting it on a forum or tweeting MS or SoT ... use the official report procedures.
@supposedloki327 Ahoy matey!
This sounds very suspicious indeed...
However, the forum isn't the right place to report or discuss this. If you want to report a cheat, hack or bug you have discovered, please contact Support and hopefully, they can get to the bottom of the strange goings on.
Dropping anchor on this one!
