EA Sports FC franchise's Ultimate Team trading card store from Sheliepaley's blog

It's with that in mind that we bring news that several SEN (Sony Entertainment Network,EA FC 24 Coins the new name for the PSN) accounts have had their passwords reset. Early reports of password resets started last week, and they are continuing to 

occur as early as today.

While the reason for the password reset might vary from person to person, one of the major culprits is EA Sports' FC 24. This isn't the first time EA Sports FC has been associated with hacked accounts and preemptive measures in response 

to hacked accounts, but this is a first for the next-gen.

Apparently, these hackers are once again using the EA Sports FC franchise's Ultimate Team trading card store to rack up some hefty charges. Gamers on Reddit have cited between $10 and $150 worth of charges, most of which have been 

acknowledged by Sony as fraud and are in the process of being refunded.

With EA Sports FC always ranking very high in global sales, it has become a franchise ripe for the picking, leaving many unsuspecting players vulnerable to fraudulent charges. Obviously, the hope was that EA Sports would find a way to 

prevent account hacks in future iterations, but that isn't the case.

This writer was one of those whose account password was reset, but luckily no purchases were charged to my account. It is important to mention, though, that I do own a copy of FC 24 for PS4. so that may be the reason for the reset. The 

process is pretty painless, though, all one needs do is select the 'Forgot Your Password' option on their account login page and input a new, hopefully more secure, password.

Nevertheless, this news of SEN accounts being hacked on PS4 and also Xbox 360 is cause for concern. Not just because of the PSN outage, but also because these are next-gen consoles with what we hope are better security measures. To be 

fair, the vulnerabilities stem from a particular game not the system itself, but that's no recompense for those affected.

Over the next few weeks (if not the next few months), gamers are likely to hear a lot about next-gen sales estimates, projections, and records concerning both the PS4 and Xbox One. And as each begin to expand to additional territories 

and bolster their post-launch supply counts, buy FC 24 Coins the picture will start to get clearer as to who "won" and where.
