"My PSN account was hacked, seemingly as part of an ongoing sophisticated series of moves against both random and "prominent" users, said Moriarty. He then shared that he had been told by someone else days ago that he would likely be targeted, and that the person delivering the warning had also been a victim."
"Moriarty shared some further details, revealing that he had not been phished, hadn't clicked on any random links or entered his password anywhere. He says he first began receiving hundreds of emails from sources like EA, Aliexpress, Slack, Substack and more. He then got a text message informing his PlayStation Network email address had been changed, followed by another stating that 2FA had been disabled."
"Co-host Dustin Furman received a message from Moriarty's account that said "You're next." Moriarty has contacted customer support and even got in touch with people he knows inside Sony in a bid to regain access to his account. He acknowledges that the average user doesn't have his clout and contacts: "I understand these are major advantages most people affected do not have. I acknowledge that fully.""
A PlayStation Network account was reportedly taken over through a sequence of actions that did not involve phishing or entering a password. During a livestream, account verification emails arrived and the account holder left to investigate. The account holder later confirmed loss of control and described an ongoing pattern targeting both random and prominent users. Hundreds of emails from multiple services were received, followed by a text message that the PSN email address was changed and another that 2FA was disabled. A co-host received a message from the compromised account saying “You’re next.” The account holder contacted customer support and reached out to contacts inside Sony to regain access.
