More recently, OurMine hackers managed to take control of HBO’s social media accounts, once again with no sensitive information stolen, but with several tweets that were posted to claim the breach. On the other hand, if a database was indeed stolen, OurMine is a group of white-hat hackers, which means most of their attacks are only happening to highlight security holes in services and accounts belonging to notable individuals or companies. Let’s make #PlayStationLeaks Trending,” the message, which has also been removed shortly after the hack, read.Īt the time of writing this article, Sony is yet to provide us with a statement, but there’s a good chance that the breach only affected the Facebook and Twitter accounts, with no PSN database accessed whatsoever.

If you work at PlayStation, then please go to our website,” the group tweeted from the official PlayStation account, calling for Sony employees in charge of the PlayStation handle to get in touch with them. “No, we aren’t going to share it, we are a security group. One of the tweets, which is no longer available right now, confirmed there are no plans to leak PSN details. OurMine hackers posted several messages on the official Twitter and Facebook PlayStation accounts, all of which have already been deleted, presumably after Sony regained access to the compromised accounts. For the time being, however, a password reset could be a good idea to remain secure. While no leaks have happened since the breach was announced, OurMine hackers claim they won’t be releasing any details online, meaning that users should be fine unless the attackers change their mind. The official Twitter and Facebook PlayStation accounts were compromised late Sunday by hacking group OurMine, with the attackers claiming they had managed to get access to a PSN database.
