Okay, so I was playing blk ops last night and me and a friend went around knifing ppl in the ante up level of gun game for a little while. Some kid got mad and said he was gonna hack into my account using the new hack that came out and turn my system into a brick.

Typically id ignore this type of threat but i remember my friend awhile ago saying it was possible. I searched online for a minute but i cant find anything about this or having it being done to anyone. If this is true whats to prevent anybody from doing this to ppl they meet just for the heck of it. I'm thinking this was just a threat because he was mad but still want to be sure and see if its any counter measures for me to take. I'd appreciate any help and info on this situation anyone could give me.

He's just bluffing. He just using the new hack to put an extra punch behind empty words. Don't worry about it.

you gotta be careful, couple of my friend's accounts have been stolen after ps3 hack...

you should report this to sony. if your account really gets hacked and stolen, then call police cuz this is no different as stealing your property.

They will contact activision and sony while trying to find suspect. my friends wow account was hacked years ago, and he called police. 2 weeks later, police contacted him and told him they caught the guy who stole his account.

Thats just nerd rage... Happens a lot on games little kids who know how to ping an ip address suddenly think they can press a "hack" button and laugh as your machine dies... Ignore the fool.

I really hope he was bluffing in which it was prolly an empty threat after but is this really possible with the new hack or whatever is going on. If they do get into my account can he actually freeze my system or brick it or whatever he said? I dont really care about anyone gaining access to my account as I never put any credit card info or anything in it and i dont mind making a new one but I dont want my system to be crashed somehow.... What exactly is this new hack???

Your PSN accountis on Sony's servers, not your PS3. Don't worry too much about it.

You and I think alike...At least on this topic. Our accounts are stored server side. Hacking the PS3 doesn't give you access to everyones accounts on those servers. The servers would have to be remotely hacked, which is a pretty tall order for anybody.

Your account info is safe.
