    Hmm, I got a message that I was added to a group this morning. Would it have something to do with this? I have 2 Step verification on.

    I wouldn't think so I've been added to groups by randoms before, I wouldn't worry about it. Got a message from someone last week that just said "Hi" Immediately suspicious. One of the lads on the Destiny chat got contacted and the third line was "BTW what age or you?" Creepy.

    No, I get added to groups every now and again - it is literally just someone adding you to a group.

    Sony did not get hacked, their social media accounts. If anything, someone has found a security exploit in twitter and facebook and gained access to their platform not to Sony's. There is no need to worry people, these things happen all the time. Microsoft have had their social media accounts taken over, so have Netflix and thousands of others.

    If you scroll to the top of the message you can see who created it and added you.

    OurMine, a Saudi Arabia based hacking group hacked the official social media platforms including Twitter and Facebook accounts of Sony‘s PlayStation Network (PSN) on Sunday.

    After taking over the PSN’s Twitter account with 14.6 million followers, the group started sending Tweets encouraging the Network to contact the group through its website to buy its IT security service to protect them from future hack attacks.

    The group also claimed to have access to PSN‘s database with no plans to leak it online since the group considers itself “a security group. “No, we aren’t going to share it, we are a security group if you work at PlayStation then please go to our website,” the Tweet said.

    The same crowd got hold of HBO's twitter etc last week aswell. OurMine even say they won't release the info yet people are scaremongering online against Sony.
