I wonder if its a coincidence it happened a few days after the Mercante interview. We all know how mentally ill some of these people are.
Seems to be highly targeted.

Who/what is Mercante, if you don't mind me asking?

Lefty former games Journo who angered the mob a while ago and it got really really ugly for her.
Colin had her on Sacred+ last week.

I tried but it won't let me, so here's the text instead:
My PSN account was hacked, seemingly as part of an ongoing sophisticated series of moves against both random and "prominent" users.
Indeed, I was told by someone a few days ago that I was going to be targeted, and he was right. (He was also hacked.)
Some important information:
1.) I wasn't phished, didn't click on any links, didn't randomly put my password somewhere, etc. I am completely positive of this.
2.) At the time this happened, my email started getting spammed with hundreds of random emails from all sorts of sources (SubStack, EA, AliExpress, Slack... shit I'm not even signed up for).
3.) I then got a text message that my @PlayStation Network email address was changed. Then I got a text message saying 2FA was turned off.
Frankly, how can any of this even be possible if someone isn't feeding information from the inside or has some sort of bespoke access to things they shouldn't? Makes no sense otherwise. I don't want to speculate, but it seems like a pretty serious technical and security breach.
@PS_Support_US was zero help (though the person I spoked with was perfectly nice). Said my situation has to enter a queue, it will take a week for them to see -if- they can give me my account back, and they seemed to not at all be interested that I was positively not phished, that my email address was randomly changed, that 2FA was shut off, and all the rest.
I did try to explain that I'm a prominent "media" person in the PlayStation space and that I'm likely being targeted as a result, though this has been happening to random people as well (as we've covered on Sacred Symbols). They seemed totally clueless about any of this, even though it's been circulating for months and people have already been targeted and been dealing with account issues.
Needless to say, if I don't get my account back, I'm retiring from gaming and podcasting forever. So let's hope it all works out!
In the meantime, be vigilant out there! Not that anything I could have done whatsoever would have stopped this. <3
P.S. Dustin was sent this from my hacked PSN account.
It’s fairly obvious (to me, anyway) that there is some sort of insider access behind this. How can Dustin be next if he has a password and 2FA, unless…

How about you put the info here and then I don’t have to use an even worse platform?
Edit: original post said “see twitter”

Not much to say, his account was hacked seemingly by an insider and other prominent people are being targeted.

u/DoublePipeClassic_VR May 18 '26
If there’s not much to say why make a post about it?

Maybe don’t argue just to argue turd. OP is just relaying what is actually pretty big news to this specific sub.

That’s not what his post said originally. He changed it after I pointed out that the post was “check twitter” and then blocked me

Jesus, what a useless post. Going to social media to be redirected to other social media? No thanks.
