Feature flaw and fix

SIE’s response published by 4Gamer in its 5 November 18:00 update confirms a flaw allowing outsiders to add child accounts to a family without permission, irrespective of two-step verification or passkeys. Family managers’ names/emails may have been viewable; affected users and counts remain under review. [1]

SIE detected the issue on 7 October and fixed it on 8 October. It is removing unauthorized accounts and assessing impact. This response does not confirm a card-data leak. [1]
