PSN Down (UPDATED)
PlayStation by CrazyTop on Apr 26, 2011
For those of you who don't already know. As of Wednesday April 20th PSN is down once again. It's not the first time either. It was also down February 28th, March 3rd, and March 9th. It's been thought that the attack was by the hacker group "Anonymous" who has been previously attacking sony, but they denied any involvment since they seek only to attack Playstation and not the users. However, it is said that a hacker was the cause of the shut down. Most possibly those who try to modify their PS3 to steal content from PSN. According to their official blogs the external intrusion has caused PSN and Qriocity services to shut down. They are currently re-building the system, hopefully for our benefit so that this doesn't occur again. A source close to Sony has said that it will most likely be back up tomorrow. However, according to Playstation they don't even have an estimate as to when it will be back up. When they first informed their users they said it would take 1-2 days obviously that's not the case. Users are getting inpatient and increasingly frustrated as the time drags on. It occured at the worst time possible with new games coming out such as, Mortal Kombat, Portal 2, and SOCOM 4. Hopefully PSN will be back up soon, they are losing users fast after all the recent network problems. Most are going to buy an xbox. It's infuriating how Playstation fails to update their users with more information. Next time, they need to inform us that they are shutting it down especially when it's nearly been a week. I'll update this when I receive anymore information. I've recently learned from the official playstation blog http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/26/update-on-playstation-network-and-qriocity/ that PS3 users information has been compromised. The shocking thing is that it was only ONE hacker who did this. And according to the text they said it'll take another week to get just some features of PSN back online. Might as well go buy an xbox, because I'm pretty sure that even with them increasing security and such this will happen again. I have completely lost all respect for Sony, this is unacceptable.
