Whelp, it happened to me. About a month and a half ago I got an email saying the email address associated with my PSN was changed. I immediately contacted Sony Support to try to fix this. By the time I got a response this person activated 2SV. I managed to get the email address changed back that day, and I changed the password to a much more secure password.
However, it seems PSN Support requires you to give them the serial number for the system you used to create the account. The issue with this is that is a launch PS3 that died a few years back, so I don't really have access to that anymore. Luckily for me I am an idiot and went 99.9% digital this gen. So now I am screwed out of my account that I have had for around 13 years and can't get anybody at Sony to help me out. They say they need me to verify it is mine before making any changes, which is HILARIOUS to me considering they let this person change my email without ANY verification. I am accustomed to getting an email that asks for verification of a change that big, but apparently Sony isn't very smart with this kind of stuff.
So guys, even if you are like me and went back to PC gaming primarily and just figured you'd get around to adding the 2SV when the next exclusive came along... go do it now. Don't be like me.
But at least I left it to where this guy can't get into the account, either.
