PlayStation Network has been hacked.


The official PlayStation website has just announced their online gaming services have been interrupted due to an "external intrusion", in other words they have been hacked. The outage began on Wednesday, April 20th when users were no longer able to neither log in and play their favorite games online nor access any of the features associated with the network such as the PlayStation Store or PlayStation Home, a virtual world much like Second Life.

The ongoing outage has left a massive of amount gamers not only unable to play online but also down right outraged, mainly because of the lack of information being relayed to them by Sony. It took a whole day after this ordeal first began for Sony to inform their customers on what was happening when they posted on their official PlayStation blog that they were aware of the situation and it would take them a day or two to resolve it. In this post they did not give any reason as to the cause or what steps were being done to take care of it.

Now today after much rumor of a hack job taking place, Sony has finally confirmed the suspicions to be true. The questions that remain now are, how long will it take for the PlayStation Network to be fully functional again and how much revenue has Sony already lost due to this outage? Another critical question users should be asking is, has their personal information been jeopardized? With the main focus of that being credit card data, which can be used to purchase content from the PlayStation Store.

Here's a link to the official PlayStation Blog.

  3. Just say it straight-up instead of "external intrusion." This is why you are hacked right now as I type. You took stuff away SONY and you lied about why and now you are paying the price. Messed with the wrong person here SONY. I suggest you go back to making Rice Cookers and sell off the PSN to someone who can handle it. I'll translate 'external intrusion' for you people.External Intrusion=Sony Got OWNED!
