However it crossed even that limit by harassing a genuine user for the wrongs committed by hackers.

The hackers also added another Sony gadget to his PlayStation account, a PS Vita.

Then, I filed a dispute on all three $25 charges, Brad states.

Getting Sony to restore his account back to him was also relatively easy.

Brad recounts

Once I got home, I sat down at a computer and fired up Sonys chat support.

At first, the agent was helpful.

It sounded simple enough, or so I thought.

The agent passed the buck.

They explained that to make it issue a refund, I needed to cancel the dispute with PayPal.

So I contacted PayPal.

This turned out to be a process in and of itself.

I informed the Sony tech support agent once the dispute was canceled.

I didnt get a human response.

Basically, I had to apologize and pay for a thief.

Its bad enough to be hacked, but its even worse to have to pay for the digital damage.
