PlayStation®3 General Discussion

hey   whilst i was watching youtube on my ps3   i got a message telling me i have been signed out because someone else has signed in using my account.

i signed in again  and about 20 secs later  same message

this happened about 5 times  

i tried changing my password a few times  but was getting signed out before i could change

then i managed to change my password and its been ok after that

but i dont seem to understand how can someone can get into my account when my password was random letters and numbers  which only i know

and if someone can get into my account  this means they can start buying things using the card linked to my account.

what is wrong with psn and what security do they offer 

because i dont want other people buying things from  my fathers credit card

so psn    is your network secure

they can get ur credit card details now, cancel ur card

Sorry, don't believe you. Unless you have given the password out, or you have used a password easily guessed, nobody would be able to hack it.

PSN (SEN) is secure.

i believe him as it happened to me about 6 times whilst playing black ops when it first came out

exact same message i got as the OP

and iv never given details out

[frodouk]

Then I stand corrected... he didn't mention Call of Duty as that's the cause I believe? CoD getting hacked, not the PSN.

Change the password, check your recent transactions on the PSN. If all looks normal, you'll be fine

[Warren_Jeeves]

It's happened to me before a few times.


Only because I had my account on my kids machine set to auto sign in on start up, haha.

[McNeilio]

might not be specific to cod but i remember a few people experiancing it around the same time frodo

nothing untoward happened to my account by the way it was fine after a few days and never seen the message since

Epic pre-PSN-hack flashback.

All thinks get hacked at some point

Have you considered a server glitch that will recognise your console one minute and won't the next. So SEN might think you've signed in using another console , when in actual fact you haven't. Or it could be your console is trying to sign you in twice. I'm just saying, as I doubt it's always down to hacking.
