UPDATE: Sony has officially admitted that the PSN has been hacked and that personal user data, from PSN IDs or passwords to even credit card data has been compromised. Even more bad news for PlayStation Network users, as even after almost six days since the online service went down, Sony still doesn't know when it will be up and running.
PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and owners of other multimedia devices from Sony have been seriously affected by the lack of access to PlayStation Network services, which started experiencing problems at the end of last Wednesday.
Shortly after that, the whole PlayStation Network went offline, with users experiencing errors with codes like 80023102 or 80710A06. Sony admitted that its whole online service was compromised, and last week revealed that it would be back online in just a couple of days. Now, as we're nearing the sixth day without the PlayStation Network, Sony is saying that it doesn't know when the service will be back online. "I know you are waiting for additional information on when PlayStation Network and Qriocity services will be online. Unfortunately, I don’t have an update or time frame to share at this point in time," said Sony's Senior Director of Corporate Communications, Patrick Seybold. "As we previously noted, this is a time intensive process and we’re working to get them back online quickly. We’ll keep you updated with information as it becomes available. We once again thank you for your patience." According to a previous update posted by Seybold on the official PlayStation Blog, the company is working around the clock to not only get the PlayStation Network up and running, but restructure the whole system to provide extra security. "Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security," Seybold added. The PlayStation Network outage struck Sony at a really bad time, as the whole online service was out right after the launch of two online-dependent games, in the form of Portal 2 and Mortal Kombat, not to mention right during Easter, when lots of people had days off.

Yeah , its a confusing issue. Lots of different stories floating around the internet right now. One website also claiming they have a source from SCEE telling them that it should be back up today.....
Who knows , maybe check back in a few weeks or something. |

| Comment #15 by: Delta-Lima-3 on 27 Apr 2011, 22:06 UTC | reply to this comment | Its sad that it has come to this. Of course Anon denies any involvement, where they thought they would be seen as heroes for taking down big bad Sony, they now have 70 million people in line to kick their * . Personally, I think that when these pussies are caught they should be charged with terrorist activities. Throw a few away in Fort Levinwoth and it wont happen again. I would love the * responsible to show up at my front door. We'll see how tough they are without a computer. |

| Comment #40 by: KU_BIRD_FAN85 on 05 May 2011, 16:07 UTC | reply to this comment | Wow really you can't tell us when it will be on and all you can say is sorry its funny this happens just after a much awaited game FINALLY came out (SC4) after push back after push back you know i use to have a X box but gave it up for a PS3 and this is what i get nice. Just to think that Sony is already working on the PS4 is sad make sure the product is worth selling before releasing it, cause its most likely going to be a waist of money like the PS3 is I mean really you (SONY) should do something to make things right and not just the network back up , you should comp us, the buyers the ones that are out, that would show us how SORRY you are not a few words that don't seem to mean anything. Hey Sony it sad that Nintendo is still going strong and its been around longer then Sony ......... |
