'This Needs to Change' — PlayStation Fan Gets PSN Account Hacked and Restored, Acknowledges Others May Not Be as Lucky

PlayStation fans are questioning the security of their PSN accounts as yet another prominent community member had their account hacked and stolen.

Over the weekend, a prominent member of the PlayStation community, known as RealRadec, claimed that his PSN account had been hacked. He noted that the hackers had changed his login info, including his email, effectively locking him out of his account. He also stated that the PlayStation support phone number (which is somewhat infamous for being unhelpful anyways) was offline, leaving him without anyone to contact for assistance.

The situation mirrored one that happened to noted PlayStation podcaster and ex-IGNer Colin Moriarty earlier this summer. Moriarty had his PSN account stolen from him during a livestream, prompting some panic. However, given Moriarty's status in the PlayStation community, he was able to raise a lot of noise and receive assistance from various connections at Sony. Moriarty confirmed during a stream on Monday that he lent that same assistance to Radec, as the two have collaborated on Moriarty's podcasting network, Last Stand Media.

This all led to Radec getting his account back, but he was quick to note that he may not have been as lucky if he didn't have a platform and connections.

"It would be foolish of me not to acknowledge that this was dealt with as quickly as possible because of the position I'm in," said Radec . "Not many people have that reach, and I am fully aware of that. This is a problem that has been brewing for a long time now at PlayStation.
