PlayStation Network Will Go Live This Week: Official Statement From Sony
The PlayStation Network fell victim to an epic hack on the 20th of April and has been down since. With suspicion of credit card info might have been stolen, Sony clarifies that there’s no evidence in that matter and the PlayStation Network will eventually go live this week in its full glory.
According to Kotaku:
The restoration of PSN will come in a regional phased rollout. A press statement from Sonysaid PSN’s initial restoration will include online multiplayer for PS3 and PSP; access to account management and password reset; access to one’s friends list, with chat functionality; access to PlayStation Home, and to the download of unexpired movie rentals and to Qriocity’s Music Unlimited service.
Sony further added:
Sony laid blame for the 10-day PSN outage on “a criminal cyber-attack on the company’s data center located in San Diego.”
The whole story began when Sony filed a lawsuit on Geohot over the PlayStation 3 jailbreak. Although the case was settled out of court but apparently that pissed off a few hackers. Geohot also claimed that he is not involved or related to this attack in any case.
