Woop982 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) How do you know that it's the same guy that keeps stealing your account? Edited February 25, 2015 by Woop982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbuk Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) How do you know it's the same guy? Could be 7 separate people, unless you know the guy personally, in which case it'd be reasonable to assume you gave him your password which allowed him/her to "hack".

Dragon-Archon Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So why complain about it here, this site isn't owned by Sony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyondthegrave07 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm a little confused... You were hacked 7 times by the same person and contacted Sony... When? After the 7th time or every time you were hacked? Also, did you wait 6 months after the 7th time? Also, if you are being hacked, how is that stopping you from getting a trophy? Lastly did you ever change your password after being hacked? I would make it extremely long and complex to make it ridiculously hard to hack again. If I was you, If you can still log in, change your password, email address, etc.and clear your PS4 data. If that isn't possible, I'd start fresh unless you'll lose a ton of downloads. If you lose a ton of games, harass Sony until they fix it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScutumMagister Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Try better passwords maybe? If your passwords have been hacked that many times then it sounds like you're keeping things way too simple. PSN passwords can be 30 characters long and a combination of letters, numbers and symbols.

Tomoko Kuroki Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Sony customer service is the worst I've ever seen, the only solution I can give you is fly to HQ and go punch them in the nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyondthegrave07 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) If Sony knows who is doing it, why don't they ban that account, or (If possible) disallow the hackers from creating a new account on that system? Also, Sony's CS is terrible because a bunch of people cry wolf of being hacked to try to get free plus and games out of them. Therefore, procedures are long and painful to make sure you are genuine about your claim. At least, that's what I'd like to believe!

Aela Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Realistically speaking, there's no actual way of hacking into someone else's account, is there? Not really. And if Sony knew who it was, then surely they'd just ban their PS3 system. Edited February 25, 2015 by Aela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying Sony purposely puts you through hell before they fix it to make sure you are genuine. Complaining to us and proving it is genuine to us will fix absolutely nothing.

Actually yes. It's called a horribly simplistic password. Which the OP obviously keeps using if he's been hacked 7 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scidillydocious Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 ill just have to wait the 6 months and see if then i can. by the time the six months are over i would have had to wait 1year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAskHole Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 man, how the hell the same guy hacked you 7 times? maybe he have access to your personal e-mail too... i can't believe in your history, something is missing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you are probably right, or very little is changed from password to password. Add some #@$%&-+() to a password and it takes years to hack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, is that "hacking"? Moreover, the OP must have been using some extremely simple passwords if someone were to have guessed it correctly 7 times.

Saltyie Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Seriously? "We're sorry your account has been hacked for the 7th time, we advise that you wait 6 months then contact us again" Also maybe trying to figure out why your account keeps getting 'hacked' is more important than a single trophy.
