Can someone hack your PS3?

[cl1ff53c0rd]

My Norton expired awhile ago and I've been plagued with hacks(I've had to change my name 3 times here cliff secord/HughesA1R) and the other day I made a photobucket account BAMM! hacked in a day can no longer use it, now my PS3 is acting up...at first when I went to youtube, it would'nt play vids, now it's freezing up when I try to go online, is their anything Ican do about this?...anyone have the same kinda trouble?...

Umm... why not get some free Antivirus, like Avira, or AVG? If you are running none at all, you are a great security risk, and you shouldn't be online. If you have the login information for your PS3 stored on your computer, or you use the login elsewhere (email/password somehow connected) then yes, somebody could have got your Playstation Network login, but I highly doubt the PS3 itself is hacked.

I just hacked yours.

Never heard of the PS3 being compromised the way PCs are. But with your history of PC problems, and now this, it makes me wonder if your network is secure. If you use a wireless network, make sure it's encrypted and password-protected.

They could steal logins, doubt they could hack the system itself. Also, Norton is godawful, just use Avast or AVG or something. You aren't necessarily at constant security risk if you don't run an AV, I didn't run one for a few years, you just have to cut down on the pr0n and stop opening every single email. This one happened to come with AVG so I just kept it.

Did your Provider install your wifi/network? if so, then they should be able to roll a tech on-site to secure it for you, or at least walk you through activating WPA by phone. If they didn't install your wifi/net then most providers will direct you to the person/entity that did and refuse to help further. Either way, enabling WPA shouldn't be that difficult for you. But you definitely need it, since an unsecured network is just a very bad idea.

I've gotta look into that, I'm tired of this bastard getting his giggles on my time, pretty sure, it's just one person too...Thanks for the advice.

Dude.. Avast is free antivirus and its great, also get the free version of adaware.

Sounds to me like someone you know is hacking you. That is usually the case.
