Is it safe to share your PSN username when talking about trophies?

-

I’m curious about the safety of sharing my PSN username when I post about trophies and achievements. Are there any risks, like getting hacked or anything sinister, from sharing it in public communities? I just want to ensure I’m being smart about it.

You do realize you share your username when playing online, right? So it’s not like it’s a big secret. Just make sure it’s not linked to anything sensitive.

Sure, there’s a risk to almost everything online. But honestly, the chance someone will hack you just for sharing your trophy achievements is almost nonexistent. If you’re worried, then just keep it to yourself to be safe.

Your username is just that—a username. It’s not tied to your password, so unless it exposes personal information, you’re pretty safe. Just keep in mind, people can send you friend requests, but that’s about as risky as it gets.
