Rubieno Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 About 5 mins ago I tried to log in to PSN but it told me that I had the wrong password! Luckily, I could recover it but it's quite scaring... I have no idea how this could have happened, I don't gameshare or anything... Does anybody else know something? Btw, I got hacked a lot in the past by some computer nerd that was at the same school as me Ruben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herwest299 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Apparently there's a network latency issue due to high numbers. Scared me as well. Had to contacted Sony support because I foolishly placed a D.O.B I couldn't remember so I couldn't change the password.

OoyahRequiem Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Same here. Rejected my password, but was fine when I re-set it. Very strange, and a bit unsettling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goro Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) My account has been hacked 3 times in the past...though 2 of those times was my own fault. The first time i foolishly gameshared with a stranger (about 3-4 years ago) and he changed the password, no surprise there. The second time i gameshared again with somebody i knew and actively talked to on PSN for about 2 years but it turns out he was a dick and stole my account. (His reason was my golden gun camo in Black Ops ) It's safe to say i will NEVER gameshare again. The third time is pretty much the same reason as Rubieno's, i don't know what happened...i just couldn't log in and it told me my password was incorrect so i had to call Sony.

Redgrave Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Just checked for myself and there's nothing wrong with mine, thankfully. Thanks for the heads up though. Good to know you got it back intact as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystvayne Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I had that problem last night. I couldn't log into the network on either ps3 or vita. It just kept telling me my password was incorrect. I had to reset it via the website. Strange thing is I used the exact same password when I reset it.

iFarted Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I got hacked once. I got lucky though because the guy forgot to change the email haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myntero Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yeah, just happened to me. Shit myself! Midway through a boost of Mafia II, noticed I couldn't get on my Vita. Gotta be something with the servers and PS4 launch, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieboy Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm having the same problem signing in, but I can't get on the website to change my password. Every time I click the link in the e-mail I get "page not found". I guess the website must be overloaded right now. This sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmypop01 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) M too, can't remember the date of birth I registered with though, won't accept mine or my mothers. Edit: got hold of Sony and my account password has been changed, back to normal. Edited November 20, 2013 by jimmypop01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarker-1995 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Mine just failed auto sign-in despite working fine 3 hours ago, now I won't accept my password or my mail address and since it won't accept those I can't get the website to reset it for me because i'm not logged in there unless something like this happens.

antithesis Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Choose more difficult passwords to guess, which is exactly what these "hackers" are doing. The fact is they're not hacking anything, you're just too lazy to come up with a stronger password. If your passwords look like this, or like this, you're a complete bonehead and deserve to be "hacked". Use non-dictionary words (brute force attacks run through all the words in the dictionary) and don't use your username, real name, birthdate or easily guessed sequences like 123456 or qwerty and FFS...never use password!

When you try to log in just choose 'Forgot my password' it will send a link to your email so you can bypass having to use the website.

I don't think it's a hacking problem, it seems more like a network problem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give it 24hrs and see if it sorts itself out, then if you still can't log in contact sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I'm gonna have to wait it out and if it doesn't let me in eventually I'll have to give Sony a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakurisan Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Happened to me too. I'm guessing it's related to PS4 Launch on Europe. Because all the people that this happened are from Europe. I'm from Portugal. For example, omegarevan is from USA and his account it's totally fine. It's a guess tho.
