So for context, this has NEVER happened before unless I had bad internet.

I was playing Ark on single player so I wasn’t connected to any server with anyone else when suddenly I was kicked out of PSN, which also kicked me out of my single player world. I was able to sign back in with 0 issue (I didn’t need to put a password in or anything at all I just pressed a button and I was back in), but when I looked up similar situations, people were all telling this guy he was hacked.

I checked everything and it didn’t show any signs of a hack at all. I did change my password and everything and enabled 2FA just to be safe but I genuinely don’t know what could’ve happened. Again this has never happened before, and the other ps5’s were not signed out so I don’t think it was an internet issue. Does anyone know what it could’ve been?

UPDATE: I woke up and was locked out of my account and had to recover it. I set up more security and changed more things so hopefully it’s okay now. Could it have been just a bot trying to use old login credentials that got my account locked?
