It also appears that this interruption has caused Sony to beef the security.

More than 72 hours after it first went down, the PlayStation Network is still offline, annoying millions of loyal Playstation 3 clients who can not play their games over the network. No Portal 2 Co-op, no Mortal Kombat matches, no home. Playstation 3 at the forum. In the update over the weekend, Sony Patrick Seibold confirmed that the suspension for one or more hackers are attacking the system. Here's the full statement. External intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Kriociti services. In order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network and Kriociti services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th. Providing quality entertainment services to our customers and partners is our absolute priority. We are doing everything we can to resolve this situation quickly, and we once again thank you for your patience. We'll keep you updated as soon as we have additional information to share.
It also appears that this interruption has caused Sony to beef the security. "Our efforts to resolve this issue involves re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure," he wrote in Seibold another correction. "Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security."
That's all well and good, but the system was down for days, Sony has confirmed that it is under a malicious attack and the PlayStation Network has access to my credit card information. Would not it be great to know that the information is secure? It would also be nice if we had some sort of estimated time when we will be able to once again play our games online. Yes, the PlayStation Network is a free service, but saying it looks like an excuse. Players are expected to be able to play online games, especially on the weekend, are bound to be upset. afk This is not just a case of getting what you pay for.
