What is there to trend if there is no leak?
So just stupid stunts?

This.
I'm not saying they did get into PSN, but I haven't actually heard anything official either way.
Well regardless it's just social media is what I'm saying. There is zero evidence of PSN itself being hacked.

I wish they had messed with people like that, lmao.
Hmm junior member.... And your avatar.... Kind of suspicious.
No PSN is fine. Most likely twitter hack.
Hopefully

They should leak Bloodborne 2.
It's working fine here (UK).

As much as people have a go at Nintendo for their anarchic online, Sony are in another league of terrible because of their security.

They never said they brought PSN down.
They just said they got the database.
It's unconfirmed either way at this point.

Oh no...not again. Jesus...
Well, have some thread music:
Here I Go Again-Whitesnake
Hopefully it's just the twitter account.
I hope you're right.

I hope you're right.
It's probably easy to get into accounts that don't have 2 factor authentication or through social engineering.
Wish this shitty attitude of lul junior member would die off already.
Hopefully just a social media hack but deleting my payment info anyway.

Right, except the hackers say they have hacked a database and sony is yet to release a statement. So 'possibly hacked' is still a good enough title.
I hope you're right. And I'm just overreacting.
I don't know like anything about that sort of stuff but I feel like their are a lot of locks in place to prevent these things, specially for very important accounts. The ability to get into anyone's account and see everything they have posted privately is damning.
dammit
just a "Announcing Sony's first console crossplay game - Uncharted the Lost Legacy. Coming soon to xbox one and Switch with full crossplay compatibility"
hackers are no fun
Nah. It's just social media until we see otherwise.
sure.
it's a verified account with about 15 million subscribes. Of course Twitter solved that "issue" in just a few minutes.
OurMine has hacked Playstation Social media with a message saying that PSN database has leaked but without any proof for now.
Do you know their modus operandi? See post above me.

Not when the group has always only gotten into Twitter/Facebook accounts. Notice how they never mention stealing info on any other tweets:
They only mention "database(s)" because of Sony's history. Just starting shit for no reason.

There's zero evidence to support a PSN hack, as they've provided none. The responsible thread title would be, "PlayStation social media accounts hacked". To suggest a leak is giving them what these people want: attention.

i'm assuming that a group of people handle those type of accounts so they probably don't turn on 2FA for that reason

Same group that hit Shuhei's personal twitter account (@yosp).
Anyone with a tech/security mind, how do they do it? Surely it's not brute force as I'd hate to think corporation accounts use passwords like ihaveadoglol.
Wouldn't they need the PlayStation account email too? Or I guess the username suffices if they have the password.

They really should have announced a 'renewed commitment to fostering cross-platform gaming, starting with ARK: Survival Evolved this November'.

Even if it is just the Twitter and Facebook accounts, these people should be severely punished if caught. The damage this can do to a company. It isn't fair.
Some sites/apps can be granted access to post to a social media account. If that site gets compromised then tweets can be made from it by the attacker even if they don't have social media account credentials. The most notable one was Linkedin.
