Phishing e-mails don't work because people know to watch the address bar and sender e-mails (view original, etc), plus most stuff just goes to the spam folder. PSN accounts aren't useful on the black market because the accounts are banned from fraud claims - or accounts can be claimed back if the original owner has access to the e-mail. I suspect there is currently little money in PSN accounts, mostly just people hijacking accounts to play a free game or two. Again, you can't gift games on PSN accounts or view full payment information.
Having the ability to get into someone's network, though? A DNS spoof would hijack the address of the site you're visiting behind the scenes and still show the proper web address of the site in your address bar, not the forged address. This would be the phishing attempt the person would want and would be much more appealing with a widespread variety of accounts using different passwords. Different passwords which might include the password you're using on the e-mail of the PSN if it were different, or other accounts with different credentials.
It's no more farfetched than some Russian hacker jacking an account to play a game or two and the account be banned a week later. It opens the floodgates for a much broader hack with a more lucrative payoff.
what are you even talking about? so this "hacker" does all this shit so he can gain access to the persons PSN account then use that said account to then use remote play so he can mess around on the PS4....
WUT????
