With online communities almost inevitably comes people looking to exploit other people's accounts. An increasing number of users in PlayStation Home have been going around asking for people's PSN identification and password, but Sony let it be known today that the practice would not be tolerated.
"As many of you are already aware, there are members of our community who are requesting your PSN identification and password to grant select items in Home," posted Home Manager CydoniaX in the official forums. "We would like to remind you that the Home staff will never ask you for your password, or any other personal information in Home. The members of the community doing so are participating in activities that violate our terms of service. This is wrong, illegal, and most definitely NOT OK, and we will be handling these offenses accordingly."
"Please be assured that we know who has done what," the post continued. "We know that many of you who participated in this are also some of our most dedicated and enthusiastic Home users and might not have been fully aware of the ramifications of your actions. That said, appropriate actions will be taken against individuals violating our terms of use."
In case this doesn't go without saying, it's never a good idea to give out your user id and password in any circumstance on any online network you might be a part of.
