「Sacred Symbols」のホストを務めるコリン・モリアーティ氏が、二段階認証を設定していたにもかかわらず、PlayStation Networkアカウントへの一時的なアクセス権を失った。同氏は攻撃が差し迫っている旨の警告メッセージを受け取った後に被害に遭った。
元IGN編集者でKinda Funny Gamesの共同設立者でもあるモリアーティ氏は、5月18日にX（旧Twitter）へ、不特定多数のユーザーや著名人を標的とした一連の攻撃の一環として自身のアカウントがハッキングされたと投稿した。同氏によると、乗っ取られたアカウントは、同じくポッドキャスターであるダスティン・ファーマン氏に対し「次は君だ」という脅迫メッセージを送るために悪用されたという。ソニー側は当初、アカウント復旧まで最大3週間かかるとの見通しを示していたが、モリアーティ氏が社内の知人を通じて連絡を取ったことで、迅速にアクセス権が回復された。
