Maybe stop using the same password for all your accounts -- user definitely at fault.
Sorry, but that's the reality of it -- unless you can prove otherwise.
Good ol' victim blaming.

Why's their website not have a contact number. The hell is wrong with their site

No need for that, Sony wasn't the one that hacked you. I hope you get a refund from them.

Same. No fucking way am I trusting Sony's lame ass security with my card.
What have they done?
But you can use the same password.
Man seen a fair of these threads already. Hacking is rampant these days.
OP call Support and get your credit card details removed ASAP.
Since it's widely known Sony has shit security and is a big target for people looking to get accounts, why would anyone keep their payment info on it?You're not serious are you? It's users fault because sonys security is absolutely shit and has been since its release, and still don't have 2 factor authentication? I think I've heard it all now.

They didn't 'hack' his account through Sony servers. They almost certainly 'hacked' his account by getting his email/password combo from a -completely different non-Sony source- and then auto-trying said combo everywhere, and found an 'in' at Sony.
Sony can not magically prevent people from re-using passwords elsewhere. They have no idea if people are doing this.
Once in, then yes, the perp had access to OPs CC info since he stored it.
If you use a secure email/pw combo and change it regularly you're not going to get 'hacked'.
What have they done?
So you know for certain their system got hacked and it wasn't just someone who got your info?It's deserved. They sold me a product in a closed Eco system. I shouldn't have my information and financials at risk
Good ol' victim blaming.
You know victim blaming isn't an actual logical fallacy right? Nor that pointing it out is an actual argument/ assertion/ rebuttal?
You signed the eula/ w/e with them. There are responsibilities you have yourself in the situation here and Sony has made it clear time and time again that beyond giving you credit to your account they will not help you get what you want - a refund.

What are some safeguards that PS4 users should practice?
I don't believe I have any credit cards or paypal accounts linked to my account. I only add money on my PSN account via PSN cards I buy on Amazon (not like I never used my card before so if there is a breach of that level I could still be vulnerable unless I update my cards).

You're half way there. Give it a unique password you don't use anywhere else. And not just a variation of something you use commonly.What are some safeguards that PS4 users should practice?

And people say Nintendo lives in the past when they are the only ones save from this
They are the industry leader now because of us and they treat us like a piece of shit. So many threads recently it's insane.
That serial is your key to getting your access back no matter what. There are other ways but you have the master key, in storage.
so uhh why shouldn't he do a chargeback if his card was used without his permission?
He'll get a refund.... to his sony wallet, slim chance in hell its back to his bank.

They'll ban meso uhh why shouldn't he do a chargeback if his card was used without his permission?
Really?
How else do you get into someone else's account? By knowing password..
Unless he can prove otherwise that social engineering is in play, then that's the fault of the Sony rep who gave out personal information.
Most likely, as the OP said, it was from his password and he changed it AFTER they accessed it... AND HIS PAYPAL/Payment information using the SAME info.

https://haveibeenpwned.comIdk. I'm going through and changing passwords everywhere. My paypal was linked to Sony and that's who emailed me about the charges

What kind of garbage is this
Another victim blamer. Pathetic.

Probably a silly question that I already know the answer to, but I don't store my CC info on PSN, and any money I add to my account gets spent immediately most of the time. Let's say somebody manages to hack my account. As long as I change my password ASAP, nothing bad comes of the hack besides maybe some loser getting my email address, right? Would I even have to contact Sony, or would changing the password be enough to lock them out?
man sony definitely has some issues with account security. so many threads lately are they even acknowledging it ?
Not sure if you're serious, but I'll assume you are. In the likely scenario that OP had his information phished and someone used it to access his PSN account, how is that Sony's fault?
Please don't speak for me. They've treated me just fine.
