Tails 6,692 Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone. How's it going? So there is something important that I wanted to spread the word to on this site with all of you since I'm sure a lot of users on here own a PS4. And, apparently, there's a deadly virus that's currently going around bricking people's PS4's. If you want to know more details about this and how you can prevent this virus from completely destroying your PS4 than I suggest you watch the video below (also just so you guys know this isn't my video. This is is video from a YouTuber named "Josh Gaming"). So yeah, if you've watched the video, than you'll want to take action on your PS4 IMMEDIATELY. I'm sure all of you guys would hate for something like this to happen to your PS4. Especially for those that have games pre-ordered and plan to buy in the near future for your PS4 (like Kingdom Hearts 3).

Axtwyt 500 Posted October 14, 2018 Good to know. I'd been meaning to update who can message me for a while, and this gave me a good excuse to do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exiblade7 1,917 Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Thanks. I wouldn't have wanted the PS4 i've worked so hard for get bricked before KH3 comes out. Edited October 14, 2018 by Zeldablade7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultimus Grid 546 Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) A virus? And I was just about to play Spiderman soon. Good thing I decided to log in today. Edited October 14, 2018 by Ultimus Grid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlipMode 141 Posted October 14, 2018 Yep. I've had spam messages on my PlayStation account too. I got a Vita a few weeks ago and logged into PSN for the first time in well over a year and definitely had some random messages and friend requests that could not have come from a legit person.

The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted October 14, 2018 Thanks for informing us about this, Tails! I already went and secured my PS4's future, cuz with KHIII so close to us, there's no way I'm going to let my PS4 die!

ienzo628 548 Posted October 16, 2018 When I get my PS4, I should put it on no responses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ventus_ 396 Posted October 17, 2018 A virus on a PS console? Shit their range is spreading. My stepdad currently has possession of our PS4 in his and my mom's room so there's nothing I can do. I'll let him know. He's better with electronics anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allwil13 754 Posted October 18, 2018 Well that's terrifying. Luckily I already restricted my PS4's ability to receive messages to "Friends Only" last year. Good on you for spreading the word, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RikuFangirl2008 1,368 Posted October 18, 2018 I've heard about it. I did set up the settings as I was following Tealgamemaster's video about 3 days ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Well everyone, at least we all took preemptive measures to ensure that our PS4's wouldn't be ruined! Edited October 20, 2018 by The Transcendent Key Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather Chandler 67 Posted October 20, 2018 So setting the PS4 messenger to "friends only" will be enough? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
