Yes this has been there for a while. In April, the story broke out that PSN has been hacked. Weeks later another release saying that it ‘might’ return by May 3rd but it never happened. Yet we have another update for you, apart from the breaching, lawsuits against Sony Corporation, and Sony’s idea of giveaways / perks for the PSN victims. This time Sony Corp, has missed the PSN and Qriocity restoration dates. And is begging its users for bit more patience. Here is the release as published on the official PS blog.Sony has brought in different security firms to access the full damage, get the intruders and fix the infrastructure for 70 million plus users.
Release by Sony PSN Blog:
As you may know, we’ve begun the process of restoring the service through internal testing of the new system. We’re still working to confirm the security of the network infrastructure, as well as working with a variety of outside entities to confirm with them of the security of the system. Verifying the system security is vital for the process of restoration. Additional comprehensive system checks and testing are still required, and we must complete that process before bringing the systems online.
As you’ve heard us say, our utmost priorities are the security of the network and ensuring your data is safe. We won’t restore the services until we can test the system’s strength in these respects.
When we held the press conference in Japan last week, based on what we knew, we expected to have the services online within a week. We were unaware of the extent of the attack on Sony Online Entertainment servers, and we are taking this opportunity to conduct further testing of the incredibly complex system. We know many of you are wanting to play games online, chat with your friends and enjoy all of the services PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have to offer, and trust me when I say we’re doing everything we can to make it happen. We will update you with more information as soon as we have it. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience of this network outage.
