Saw this thread on Reddit:

I know this has happened to several people in the past, and I find Sony's policies surrounding this to be ridiculous.
- Basically, if you are unlucky enough to have your account hacked, Sony will only refund up to $150 in charges.
- If the hacker deactivates your PS4 to activate their own, you are screwed because Sony only allows 1 activation/deactivation every 6 months
- If you decide to dispute the charges with your bank or credit card, your account is banned and you lose all of your current digital games and content
I would think Sony would have a better set of policies in regards to account hacks than this, especially in light of the infamous PSN hack a few years back. It seems like if you are unlucky enough to be targed, you will seriously lose either way. Either eat the fraudulant charges to keep your account, or dispute them and lose your account and all your games.
This makes me rethink my all digital stance for games this gen. What do you all think?
Hack my account if already posted.
