Bloody hackers!!!

Psn is still down

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/

Over 3 days now. Fucken bullshit. You gotta love nerds

Shut up. It's not hackers. People always assume things.

It blatantly states "their has been an external intrusion on our network" what else could it be?

It is particulary bad timing given its public holidays.
Especially when its the only time ppl can go on to PSN and purchase content, which I was going to do.
I'll spend my money on other stuff now

I think they've stated that it's hackers. If it's not hackers than who would it be? This is pretty annoying. Like tristo said, I bought a monthly subscription to DCUO for the holiday break seeing as i would hardly use it any other time. I bought it the day before the crash happened. This is a right pain in the ass.
They're rebuilding it from the ground up at the moment. Least that was the last bit of information we were given.

For the unaware

Anonymous have said that it's not them.

Sony are working a major outage to PSN. That's all. People think that Anonymous are untouchable. Think of the tech guys that Sony have working for them; much better than the jobless basement hacks.

I tend to disagree with u gunn, think about m$ and the guys bill gates have working 4 him then look an windows! What a chunk of junk that is! Sure sony prob hav some pretty cluey guys working 4 them but they r no match 4 the underground society. An example of this is that every single console these days has been hacked. If they were so smart, these things would b untouchable!

but everything that has been created security wise can be undone. Piracy and security will never end.

Its true...

it's all crap really. Same goes for people who make viruses. Why do it? it's nothing but a pain int he ass.

It's all about $

Fuck... I'm glad I took my credit card details off

Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve the current outage of PlayStation Network & Qriocity services. We don’t have an exact date to share at this moment as to when we will have the services turned on, but are working day and night to ensure it is as quickly as possible. We are currently working to send the following message via email to all of our registered account holders regarding a compromise of personal information as a result of this malicious attack on our servers, so please look for this information via email as well. Please note that we are as upset as you are regarding this attack and are going to proceed aggressively to track down those that are responsible.
Valued PlayStation Network/Qriocity Customer,
We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011, certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account information was compromised in connection with an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into our network. In response to this intrusion, we have:
1) Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services;
2) Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full and complete investigation into what happened; and
3) Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our network infrastructure by re-building our system to provide you with greater protection of your personal information.
We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and efficiently as practicable.
Although we are still investigating the details of this incident, we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided: name, address (city, state/province, zip or postal code), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity passwords and login, and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have been obtained. While there is no evidence that credit card data was taken at this time, we cannot rule out the possibility. If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, to be on the safe side we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may also have been obtained.
For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email, telephone, and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email, asking for your credit card number, social security, tax identification or similar number or other personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information, you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them, as well.
To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant to review your account statements and to monitor your credit or similar types of reports.
We thank you for your patience as we complete our investigation of this incident, and we regret any inconvenience. Our teams are working around the clock on this, and services will be restored as soon as possible. Sony takes information protection very seriously and will continue to work to ensure that additional measures are taken to protect personally identifiable information. Providing quality and secure entertainment services to our customers is our utmost priority. Please check www.eu.playstation.com/psnoutage should you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Sony Network Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment Teams
Sony Network Entertainment Europe Limited (formerly known as PlayStation Network Europe Limited) is a subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited the data controller for PlayStation Network/Qriocity personal data.
