So, y'know this PSN hacking's been happening all month and all this information has been stolen. I thought I was actually safe because I never used a credit card on PSN, I always used PSN cards, so I actually forgot my email and password I used for the PSN account was actually the same for my PayPal and a few others, but even then, it was something I (stupidly) brushed off especially when there hadn't been any concrete evidence of a PSN-related hack.
So this morning, I woke up to find 4 emails from PayPal: 2 saying that I had recieved $30.00USD from some email phoenixfire465@gmail.com and another 2 saying that I had sent $30.00USD to some 'koram games company' (which after further investigation, is some Chinese online games company).
I haven't technically lost money (or gained), but... there ya go. My mate says that I've probably just been a pawn in a money laundering trade and wasn't really a 'victim', the same applying for both my sender and reciever. Attempting to dispute the transaction on PayPal with the IDs will tell me that the IDs are invalid. I emailed some staff, and they were prompt with their reply and there is an on-going investigation onto it.
To the people who think that they're invincible like I did, might as well change your email and password for everything, better to be safe than sorry :)
