Im2Fast_4U Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 A few years ago, I didn't have internet. When I finally had it again, I updated my trophy list, noticing that I had earned trophies from my games I had played in that span. However, there was an oddball. I saw that I had earned around 7% of the trophies for Dante's Inferno, a game I've never owned let alone played. I shrugged it off, and just today, coming back from 3 days inactivity, noticed that the past week, I had been earning trophies from Bioshock 1, again, a game I've never owned nor played. Just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else ever and what I should do to prevent this from happening, and what may be causing it.

McJacs2 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Could your account have been hacked and somebody is playing games on your account? That is the only thing I can figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo_0113 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Is it possible that your PSN account may be activated on another PS3 or did you happen to buy the PS3 preowned and already had trophies on it. That's all i can think of anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im2Fast_4U Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 I doubt it. If they had hacked my account all that time ago, I'd've earned tons of trophies from games I've never played. This is the first time it's happened in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar_Of_Battle Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Another member had posted a thread similar to this a few weeks back. I wonder if they ever found out what happened... Are you using the same PS3 from before you had internet, or did you get rid of it leaving all your info on it so that whoever might have it now is somehow gaining trophies on your account?

Im2Fast_4U Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) It may be that my account was on a friends' PS3... and he does have both of those games... And my system was brand new... So I would venture to say it's probably my friend. Probably an old user we used trying to play MW2 online split screen or something... Edit/addition: Still have the original system, never got rid of it. Edited August 1, 2015 by Im2Fast_4U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashpool23 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 If I remember correctly, there was a game a while ago that unlocked trophies for other games instead of the game itself. I don't remember what game it was though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit/addition: Still have the original system, never got rid of it. Same thing happened to me with RE6 and MW3, my friend had my account on his PS3 so he could download a patch or something, and he synced his trophies and unwillingly gave me all of the ones he had in his system, even from before I activated my account on his console. If your friend has those games then that is most likely the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matto_lsi Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) As others have said, this can happen on PS3 from syncing trophies on another account. On PS4 however, this is very common, and a different problem. Many people have noticed that if they download multiple digital titles at once, the XMB icon and background image may appear for the other game they just downloaded. If they start playing the game anyway, everything is normal until they earn trophies, and then they begin earning trophies for the other game. It seems this can happen with almost any 2 PS4 games, as long as they are both downloaded at the same time. I'm not sure if Sony has fixed this yet in a firmware update, but it was happening quite frequently since PS4 launch up until at least a few months back. I haven't heard anything about it for a while, so hopefully the last firmware update fixed it. But either way, be aware of this if you have a PS4 and plan to play downloaded games.

Im2Fast_4U Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 No clue what happened, but I haven't "earned" any more trophies from Bioshock since the 30th. Whatever happened, I just hope it doesn't continue to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesopithecusUK Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Might be worth checking how many PS3 activations you have on Playstation website You can also deactivate them on there too if necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im2Fast_4U Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 LOLOL. I'm activated on 3 PS3s. How do I tell which is mine and which ones are the other ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seprith-2 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It was already mentioned, but it sounds like some-one else has access to your account. If it was not hacked, you might consider looking into possible friends or family who could have been using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im2Fast_4U Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm pretty sure it's on friend's systems. I have two friends that I played on my account at their house a few years back. I'm sure that's what it is, but I want to delink them regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
