Hacked account?

I just bought a PS3 again after 2 years and recovered my account. I checked my trophies and Fifa 12 was on there despite me never playing it, so is it best if I just create a new account?
Thanks in advance.

If a game i'd never played appeared on my account and i knew there was no chance that none of my friends had played on it when they came around i would contact sony straight away and tell them, also if you had any bank details on your account check all cards straight away

when you sold your old ps3, are you positive that you completley wiped it and formatted the hard drive?

If it wasn't wiped, a possible explanation is that whoever bought your old ps3 played FIFA using your account which was left on the old machine

Anybody could have fished it out of the bin, fixed it and had access to your account.

When you say it broke, what was wrong with it? If it was Yellow Light of Death, this can be fixed rather inexpensively with a bit of thermal paste. If your old PS3 had auto sign-in activated then anybody who fixed it would have had access to your account.
