So we need to sticky this. You were hacked and you didn't have 2 factor auth activated. Thread can be closed.
Could also be a fishing email.

I'm only showing facts, and the huge numbers on ppl being hacked everyday since 2011 tells enough.
You are the only one pretending here
The Sony security system is uter trash.
No other company had the same issue as Sony had in 2011, and you see more threads about Sony users being hacked than MS or Nintendo
He made the thread asking for advice, not a lecture. He also hasn't blamed sony for it.

You miss all those FIFA hacks on XBL when the X360 was the biggest platform?
Welp, this just reminded me to set up that 2FA right away...
This seems to keep happening like every 2 or 3 weeks.
Lol, that still happens on a daily basis, just check the ea forums.
You create a thread on something that happens and is preventable and gets the same EXACT answers in every thread created every week. You get what you get.
we really need an "Enable 2 factor auth NOW" sticky thread.
Man seeing these threads pop up often has me worried.
I guess it's time
Thanks
"Facts" I don't think you know what facts are if you're equating the two to be any way near the same.I'm only showing facts, and the huge numbers on ppl being hacked everyday since 2011 tells enough.

Not really. If you're on GAF you should be aware of 2FA. You have to accept some responsibility for not securing your account. It's really straight forward what to do and to contact Sony. These posts just muddy up the forum when all we need is one thread about it.Damn, some shitty replies to a dude who just had his account compromised.
I put 2FA in my two accounts. It's so easy and fast when i did it.

6.2M people who likely wouldn't have known before the last couple months (like i didn't, until this thread). Have some empathy dude.
No matter how many of these threads we have, you still have people like OP not bothering to protect their account with two factor authorization.
I just don't get it.
I'm still upset about my Ashley Madison account getting hacked.Linkedin, Skype, Adultfriendfinder, Ashley Madison. Need I go on? Oh and BTW who owns Skype? (And I don't even think that weird hole that can compromise your entire Microsoft account is fully fixed yet.)

i haven't activated my 2 step verification sign up yet, is it that important ?? what happens if i didn't activated it ??
do i have to keep entering a code everytime i turn on my ps4 and use my account ?

No, I have empathy for new owners. I already said it should be stickied for them.
By the same token Sony should encourage 2FA when you're setting up your account. Hell, they should be pushing a notification to all users when they turn their machine on.
I have 2FA set up on my own account, but I just got a text message from the same number as my Psn codes, but it said "your EA security code is xxxxx"
Any idea what that is? I'm not even at home at the moment

Sadly, I still have yet to enable 2FA. I am part of the problem.

If someone wants to change the password they have to first type in a code that is send to your phone/email.
Enable it right away.

i may not be able to access the Email i registered my ID with because i need to enter my Replacement email and i put a false one, that was like 6 years ago
if i enabled 2 step, do i have to enter my email ?
You don't have a phone? I know some people don't have a smartphone because of reasons, but all you need for 2FA is something that can receive a SMS.yeah. & one that explains how to enable it if you don't own a smartphone ...
Only when you login for the first time I think it protects your account from being accessible just with your username and password. Those are easily gotten via methods like key loggers, having access to your enail address and what not.
None of these cases are actually because Sony was "hacked"
I won't cry if something happens.Well now don't just go announcing that..
I got hacked on PSN yesterday too.
I've never been hacked before -- ever. I've had XBL, Nintendo ID, Steam etc. forever. It's OK to critique sony sometimes guys.
sony has serious issues with this. Hopefully the hackers don't bypass the two-step process.
Do you have 2 step set up on your EA account? It sounds like someone has your EA account password. You are receiving it through the save number because a lot of text services us the same number.
You should probably take the time to change the email to one you actually have access to anyway. If someone stole your account, you could have problems reclaiming it because of it. Don't send things to false emails. Create secondary emails and send it to them if you don't want anything attached to your main accounts.
The hard facts are not shitty replies. Don't want sugar coating when your an account is compromised and need to act quickly.Damn, some shitty replies to a dude who just had his account compromised.

I like everyone blaming the OP because he didn't have 2 factor.
