Some important information: 1.) I wasn't phished, didn't click on any links, didn't randomly put my password somewhere, etc. I am completely positive of this. 2.) At the time this happened, my email started getting spammed with hundreds of random emails from all sorts of sources (SubStack, EA, AliExpress, Slack... shit I'm not even signed up for). 3.) I then got a text message that my @PlayStation Network email address was changed. Then I got a text message saying 2FA was turned off. Frankly, how can any of this even be possible if someone isn't feeding information from the inside or has some sort of bespoke access to things they shouldn't? Makes no sense otherwise. I don't want to speculate, but it seems like a pretty serious technical and security breach. @PS_Support_US was zero help (though the person I spoked with was perfectly nice). Said my situation has to enter a queue, it will take a week for them to see -if- they can give me my account back, and they seemed to not at all be interested that I was positively not phished, that my email address was randomly changed, that 2FA was shut off, and all the rest. I did try to explain that I'm a prominent "media" person in the PlayStation space and that I'm likely being targeted as a result, though this has been happening to random people as well (as we've covered on Sacred Symbols). They seemed totally clueless about any of this, even though it's been circulating for months and people have already been targeted and been dealing with account issues. Needless to say, if I don't get my account back, I'm retiring from gaming and podcasting forever. So let's hope it all works out! In the meantime, be vigilant out there! Not that anything I could have done whatsoever would have stopped this. <3

@SycKnight Oh shut the fuck up. Sony fanboys continue to prove they are sensitive shitheads. If this was xbox news it wouldnt be a problem tho right?
