PSN News: Update 2

The One With The Nose:

Today on the Playstation Blog, Patrick Seybold posted the following:

Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve the current outage of PlayStation Network & Qriocity services. We are currently working to send a similar message to the one below via email to all of our registered account holders regarding a compromise of personal information as a result of an illegal intrusion on our systems. These malicious actions have also had an impact on your ability to enjoy the services provided by PlayStation Network and Qriocity including online gaming and online access to music, movies, sports and TV shows. We have a clear path to have PlayStation Network and Qriocity systems back online, and expect to restore some services within a week.

We’re working day and night to ensure it is done as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and feedback.

The message that Mr. Seybold is referring to can be found at the following URL; http://us.playstation.com/news/consumeralerts/#us. Why they say "US excluding Massachusetts and Puerto Rico, I don't know.

Basically, this says that personal information has been compromised in this hack, and credit card data may be at risk. Also, PSN will (if all goes well) be up within the next week! For reinventing a gigantic system like PSN, that's fairly good time. Hopefully my next post will be to announce that PSN is up and running.

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 timeframe to share at this point in time.

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.

There are rumors that PSN America could be up tuesday, but because of this post, my hopes aren't high.

PSN News: More info (again)

The One With The Nose:

All of us who know about this PSN outage also know that Sony is taking absurdly long to get PSN back (pardon the pun) online. This is because Sony is apparently rebuilding the entire Playstation Network! No ETA as of yet for PSN, but hopefully it will be soon. For all of you losing faith in Sony, don't. Sony will fix this soon, and bring PSN back up better than ever, Hopefully.

PSN News: More info

The One With The Nose:

Since 420, PSN has been down, as many of you know. This is due to an outside group hacking the Playstation Network causing Sony to shut down PSN. Many people have been blaming the group "Anonymous" for the hack as part of "Operation Payback", but there is no evidence to support this, and the group has denied the hack was at their hands. There has been no word from Sony as to when PSN will be back online, but it's already been 3 days since PSN was up, and the gamers are getting impatient. Especially with the releases of games such as SOCHUM 4, Mortal Combat, and Portal 2, gamers want PSN back.
