Sony bans PlayStation 5 owners for exploiting PlayStation Plus vulnerability

Sony began banning users who exploit the PlayStation Plus Collection vulnerability to get free

games.

Banned vulnerability

Along with the PlayStation 5, Sony launchedand the PlayStation Plus Collection service, thanks to which PS Plus users on the new generation console received 20 hits for free from PS4. Gamers quickly learned that even if they simply activated these games on PS5, they would also become available on PS4 thanks to the shared library.

As a result, the most enterprising began to sellaccess to their next-gen consoles so that other PS Plus subscribers can exploit the vulnerability. For example, in Malaysia there was a “businessman” who offered to activate games from your PlayStation Plus Collection account on his PS5 for only $8. Sony did not appreciate this gesture of help.

Those who exploited the vulnerability were overtaken by punishment in the form ofban. The sellers received a “permach”, which can only be dealt with through the support service, and the account owners themselves are blocked from accessing PSN for two months.
