Sony PlayStation Network accounts are being stolen very easily right now, even with extra security like 2FA or a passkey.
The problem is not stolen passwords or a big data leak, but attackers who call or chat with PlayStation Support and trick the team using just your public PlayStation username and one old payment detail, such as the last four digits of a card or an old order number.
Once successful, they can change your email, turn off security, reset your password, and lock you out.
This has happened to normal players and famous ones too
Sony has known about this for months but has not fixed it yet.
To protect your account:
>hide your PlayStation username from social media bios and pictures
>remove saved payment cards or use virtual cards with low limits
>check your account often for new sign-ins
βΌοΈ Google is about to disable all adblocker extensions in Chrome. Instead of letting the adblocker inspect traffic itself, extensions now have to hand Google's browser a limited list of filtering rules and hope for the best. This leads to weaker blocking and more ads getting through.
Google makes the vast majority of its money selling ads. The company that profits from every ad you see also controls the browser most people use, with Chrome 149 being the last version supporting adblockers.
For example, under the new rules, uBlock Origin cannot exist. For millions of people, that extension is the only thing standing between them and a wall of ads, trackers, and autoplay garbage. One user put it bluntly: "The web is literally unusable without uBlock Origin."
@SowdyPlays@Pirat_Nation It's called having standards. You hurt large corp-o's by pulling money from them. Not crying on social media about it "snowflake".
@britknix@DoggtorEd He means to say retards, and I see it too. Just another normie larping as a "gamer".
Liking fable.. jesus fucking christ you guys are retards on a massive scale. Influencers selling themselves like onlyfans models.
@MinEffortLive Not really, because if you're so retarded everything can look evil they're doing. The evil types are often intelligent, and know how to get away with evil deeds. These retards are basically throwing themselves at smarter people.
@Pirat_Nation In other words the old system was too hard to implement so we're doing it a different way, and we don't care about our core fans whatsoever. They want a modern audience not the fans.
