Sepreth(@acidxhost):PS5 users are finding unknown child accounts added to their PSN family lists without permission. Several say it happened even with 2FA on. Some also got emails about sign-in ID or email changes they never made. A few describe the accounts as appearing from overseas. Sony told Sankei Shimbun it is investigating. No broader statement yet. Reports go back to early October. Child accounts can’t be removed as easily as adult ones under Sony’s rules, so cleanup is slower for affected users.
