Someone keeps changing the security settings on my PSN account. Your chat won't help me! How do I recover my account and prevent this from happening again if there are people inside SONY working against me?

There appears to be a major PSN security vulnerability via @PlayStation customer service support, where people can use certain user details to take accounts, locking owners out.
@longislandviper was recently impacted and spoke on it
Needs urgent change.

🎮 A threat actor is advertising an alleged database containing 500,000 PlayStation-related logs, claiming the dataset includes account and authentication metadata associated with PlayStation Network (PSN) users.
According to the post, the leaked records allegedly contain:
• Usernames
• Passwords/log credentials
• Account types
• Account creation dates
• Public profile information
• Service provider details
• Account status metadata
• Verification-related fields
• Login timestamps
• URLs and account references
While the authenticity of the dataset remains unverified, the structure strongly resembles:
• Infostealer log collections
• Credential aggregation datasets
• Compiled combo lists from previous infections
• Account session/token harvesting operations
Important context:
There is currently no evidence suggesting a direct compromise of Sony or PlayStation infrastructure itself. In many similar cases, “PlayStation logs” are actually harvested from infected user devices through infostealer malware rather than breaches of the platform provider.
Potential risks for affected users include:
• Account takeover attempts
• Credential stuffing attacks
• Financial fraud tied to stored payment methods
• Unauthorized purchases
• Social engineering targeting gamers and streamers
• Resale of gaming accounts on underground forums
Gaming ecosystems continue to be heavily targeted because they often contain:
• Saved payment methods
• Digital assets/in-game inventories
• Linked email accounts
• Loyalty/subscription services
• Young or less security-aware users
Users should immediately:
• Reset passwords
• Enable MFA/2FA
• Review account login history
• Remove unused payment methods
• Avoid password reuse across services
• Scan systems for infostealer malware
At this time, the legitimacy, origin, and freshness of the alleged dataset remain unverified.

@longislandviper Welcome to my world... Although I will say that I've had my account restored for a little bit. Psn support is still as lax as ever. They'll reset accounts for anyone.

I've been getting harassed by someone trying to "buy" my account name. He has disabled my 2FA multiple times and threatened to ban my account permanently by using an "inside" source.
How do we proceed?
