You don't just 'get hacked' randomly very easily. Most likely in those cases they were reusing the same password for multiple services, including some that got hacked earlier, and never bothered to change their password on PSN. Then once the hacker finds out the password, they're going to try it on other services, and probably succeed on some service. There's other ways too, but I bet that's the most common reason. Solution? Use a different password on every single service. Preferably it should be a completely different password, but as long as it's different, even if just by one symbol, it's already something. Use a password manager if you need to (and let's be honest, you need to, unless you're barely using any services, because a typical person uses a ton of services).
