Originally I wanted to make a thread discussing organizing against the hacker threat, but after talking to Ryna and finding out that there isn't yet a thread explaining how to report hackers I've decided to outline that here.
From what I've heard; For the Japanese version, Sega has already set up a website for those to report “wicked users”. You will need to register a Sega account to submit a ticket on the Sega support page. Under support they have no specified field for reporting, so it would fall under Other. I recommend you do take a photo, using a cell phone or whatever you have on hand. The form to submit a ticket doesn't allow you to attach images, the only other way you can attach an image is by uploading to a site like Photobucket and attaching the link at the end.Originally Posted by Ruby Eclipse

Write a report on the offending action taking place and be as descriptive as possible.
Also, remember that online cheaters who are the party leader can affect your data as well. I'm not sure how Sega will handle reports of users who’s save files were affected. You may want to make daily backups of your save file by connecting your PSP to the computer through a USB port. You can also not save if you notice something suspicious.
Copy the games save data folder to your computer to back it up:
YOURPSP\PSP\SAVEDATA\ULUS10529\
The name of your PSP / the drive its listed at, may vary. The folder name will be different for the EU and JP versions, I believe NPJH50043 is the name in the JP version.
Please report all hackers you see to Sega, and not list any of them here on the forum. Particularly, if you see someone asking for money to hack they are braking laws in addition to braking their agreement with Sega in playing the game. Note that some of these hackers who form parties with a title asking people to pay them are wary of people going into their games to report them. If you go into one of these games and don't see them right away, look for where their text bubbles are coming from. If the text appears to be coming from between the Battle and Style shop walls they are on the Ship.
Edit:
If someone says they are hacking you can go into the chat log and photograph it.
