Some EU PSN passwords reset 'as a precautionary measure'
In a post on the European PlayStation forums, an online support coordinator said there is "no specific evidence" that any user accounts have been compromised.
"If you have been presented with an incorrect password message today simply select Forgotten Password and reset it," they advised. A follow-up post reads:
We monitor PSN account for any irregular activity. If such activity is detected we will sometimes reset passwords.
This was done purely as precautionary measure and there was no specific evidence that any accounts had be compromised.
Only a small number of users were affected by this and as I said this was precautionary so there is nothing specific to worry about.
I cant provide any further details as this would affect out ability to keep you guys safe.
If anyone has any concerns about there PSN account drop me a PM or give PlayStation Support a call.
You should also contact Support if you are unable to reset your password for any reason.

ZENU96 For some reason there's so many problems with the next gen consoles, i hope they fix them soon.
I don't think this has anything to do with the Next-Generation-Console. It's for Sony's security. That's all...

I think it was eight hours this time. Wasn't a few days at all. So it's all good, I guess?

This literally has nothing to do with the console.
This only has to do with Sony's security issues.

KatsumiCokes Wonder what triggered this in the first place.
I'm pretty interested in this too..
Just another security measure to ensure a leak doesn't happen like what happened a few years ago.

Only for security precautions. Couldn't hurt every now and then.

Hopefully things like this do not occur too often, i don't mind doing it once to twice though
