My PSN account just got stolen. Was there another hack or am I personally being fucked

My PSN account just got stolen. Was there another hack or am I personally being fucked.

This reminds me. PSN, Steam, and Xbox Live...

How do we take back our accounts? I hear we can actually get banned instead for asking these corporations to help their buyers.

I once had an EA online pass for CNC3 and someone stole it. EA did not help me at all.

Never give out your password and log-in information to others!

Step 1: Don't be a retard.

Steam support is pretty good (they have a lot of experience sadly) in this particular regard.

You'd contact them with your info and they'd go through the motions from there. It isn't easy but that's that. If your shit is valued at over $500 I'd contact the police.

>Username: user
>Password: user
>Account recovery e-mail address: [email protected]. Haven't used it since High School so I don't remember the password
>"You won a new Playstation 4! just clic on this link: winaplaystation4.hackande-thievery dot ru"


You're the only one to blame, fag.

Customer support is a thing

I never gave my info to anyone and customer support isn't open for a few more hours. The most I can think of is someone who know my email did it.

>Younger Brother uses my account info for alot of his stuff on XBONE since he's to lazy how to make and manage simple accounts
>Extremely online social (Shares accounts, mic talk with players, etc.)
>Had the gall to share my fucking info with a non-real friend stranger he plays with online
>"I thought I taught you to never trust stangers, especially online"
>So now when I buy something or leave the console alone there are random $40+ Microsoft purchases that come after
>My brother, and in responsibility my parents, now owes me hundreds of dollars

I keep taking my information off but it keeps coming back somehow and I don't want to keep reporting this to the bank since they will think Im cheating them on my transactions.

>sitting back and watching hundreds of dollars worth of purchases being made with you credit card

what the fuck. can't you get a new card or something? I mean, how could you possibly let it get his far?

Give me your email, I'll help you get it back :^)

Fucking change your card and your password, Jesus
If he bitches about not being able to use it, tell him to fucking make an account

Because Im stubborn and didn't want to change my card for the 5th time within a short period.

>buy PS3 at launch
>create PSN account
>play MGS4 and never touch the console again
>try to login 9 years later
>can't remember password
>used fake birthday so can't recover it
>try assorted combinations all day long, I want my nickname back
>finally manage to get in
>used the wrong case 9 years ago
>can't change it or make a new one

life is suffering.

How do I protect my accounts, Sup Forums?

Not really a big deal. I had a friend get his XBL account stolen and the guy bought all sorts of shit before he noticed. Got the account and the money back without much hassle.

Share it with me.
I'll keep it safe ;).

You can't. The internet terrorists win.

>Steam

you're fucked pretty much

I forgot a lot of my account details in a move and lost the paper with everything on it and it took them THREE FUCKING MONTHS just to reply to me

>give my PS3 to my little sister because she liked playing Little Big Planet and some other games
>she uses my account for whatever reason
>keep seeing messages pop up on my Vita from other retarded kids, would-be pedophiles and "teenage girls" that are probably would-be pedophiles
Goddamn. At least she has the sense to block them all but I tell her not to use the headset anymore.

First, change your card and password, christ

second go through the xbone settings and just flip the fucking switch on everything

third is teach that kid how the fuck the internet works

Did you get your account back?

LastPass?

In the end I did, but having to wait that long was total bullshit

Ok cute anime girl
Make a longish password that is very hard to crack
and use Proton mail for email.

Get it back fags. You need to prove with enough evidence that you're the account holder.

Names, your real ones or shit you've used on the system (Steam/Origin/Pre-GT Change XBL)
Friends on the account
Recent purchases, recently played games
Past passwords
Date of Birth
Payment methods used on the account for previous purchases
Codes redeemed on the account (Steam keys, DLC keys, Game time keys)
Every time you purchase something, they send an invoice to your email. They contain unique transaction ID's

Literally ANYTHING that identifies that you were the owner of the account before this sudden change can get you your account back. What you need to do is A: Not Panic and B: Get on to support as soon as possible. Its like an hour or two of work if they've got phone support or online chat (eg Origin, Microsoft), maybe a day if you need to wait for a response with a ticket system (Steam, League).

Then use two step verification. You'll have the threat of "lol dude poodlecorp so much haxor" when they just ring up your service provider and commit identity fraud but its a lot harder to crack than just email/password. And thats pretty much uncrackable with B.Net/Steam/FFXIV App Authenticators.

These companies are scummy as fuck. Glad I stopped buying consoles after the ps2/gc era.
