All I'm going to say here is that this is why you don't buy digital games. Also, you need a lot of personal information for this exploit to work. 

Per PCMag "When you initiate an account recovery, you submit a PSN ID, the registered email address, the user's full name, and one other detail:

  • The first four and last four digits of the credit card number used on the account.

  • Serial number of the first console used to create or log into your account.

  • Order number for a recent transaction made on this PlayStation account."

    P.S. Sony is stupid for not helping the man.
