My PSN just got hacked brehs...

Make sure you have a unique password and email on your account. There is some eastern European gang that have created a bot that targets any PSN email they have access to.

Unless your password is like 20+ characters deep, it's only a matter of time before they crack it.

PSN has no facility that blocks a IP from a number of password attempts. If a hacker has your email, they can attempt to log in a million times until they have the the right password. With a realitvely cheap setup, a hacker can have your password within days.

If you have a unique email, that you only use for PSN, they won't even know your shyt to try your account.

Somebody deactivated my PS4 as the primary one on my account and changed theirs into being the primary ps4 on my account. I been on the phone with PSN support for 2-3 hours tryna resolve it but they've basically been no help.


They gave me a case number and told me call them back tomorrow to possibly resolve it then but until then I'm locked out of anything I purchased on my account via the PSN. Be careful and make sure you change your passwords brehs I'm just glad I had no debit cards on there.

Welp.... the same thing just happened to me

Doesn't PSN have security questions?

Thanks for the heads up, I'm bout to remove my paypal when I get home.

I only use Paypal as a middle man to pay for things on PSN. Id never put my cards on there.

PayPal won't save you. When I had PayPal on my PSN account I didn't have to enter my PayPal password on their own site to make purchases. The purchases were almost instantly approved from Sony's end.

Got mine hacked 2 weeks ago. Some dude from India hacked into it and purchased some next game for $35 since my Paypal was linked to it. Called them and they resolved it in about 2-3 business days. Got my money back and password was changed

same thing happened to me around the same time.....

PSN has security questions and two step verification via cell phone.

They are just optional and it sounds like people aren't using it.

Come on mr. Fsociety, being optional is the problem. It should be default like MS has theirs set up. Security questions can be socially engineered.
Wow, Sony really has their customers out here going raw smh
