I was only tipped off to the hack because I got an email alert at 2pm yesterday afternoon saying that the email address associated with my account had changed. It would be better if PSN would have sent me an email asking me to _confirm_ the email change request (using a one-time unique link that expires in 24hrs or something, like banks typically do).

However, I think that the hacker already had my account password at that point and the first thing he did was change the email address so when he subsequently changed the password, traded the Rocket League items, etc, those email confirmations would go to him, not me. I don't think he realized that I would be alerted to the email address change.
