So the Playstation Network is back up on May 3rd.
Well Xbox fanboys are happy because the PS3 got hacked, just be ause they gotta pay online and get RROD. And Plus PS3 and Xbox can't compare to Gaming PCs. So and what? Other than that the haxxors did do one thing right, to get your butts off the couch, go outside, and hang out with friends. So I find these hackers... Positive. Don't know much about their motives though.

People have spring break at different times. I had mine a while ago.
This really shows the Power of Hackers. Its nearly scary the things you can do on a Computer. (A PS3 counts as a Computer, Its computer Based)

Get Millions of Details from anyone who has signed up.
I was just going to sign in the other day and couldn't. I forgot all about this my dad told me about it. I've bought a lot from the PSN store but can't be bothered anymore with it which was a waste of my money (could have gone to more beyblades) then I find out the PS3 have been hacked and someone could have my card details, what next. So I had to get the xbox 360 out again that I'm trying to sell for the slim version and kinect. I don't think I'll bother any more with the online part just play the games they get pretty boring to though.
Okay, you guys need to stop going "Haw-haw! The PSN got hacked! I KNEW IT NOW I CAN SHOW OFF TO ALL MY PS3-OWNING FRIENDS" It could just as easily have happened to the 360: A bunch of skilled hackers are sick of paying for online play, so they hack all that stuff.

Seriously, be mature, guys.

Other than that, it's pretty cool that the PSN will finally be back online.
it wont be back on untill this wed to fri so said the news
Quote:Some PlayStation Network And Qriocity Services To Be Available This Week

Countries: AE, AU, GB, IE, NZ

This morning, a press conference took place in Tokyo, Japan and the following press release is now being distributed worldwide.

We would also like to once again thank you for your patience.


SOME PLAYSTATION NETWORK AND QRIOCITY SERVICES TO BE AVAILABLE THIS WEEK

Phased Global Rollout of Services to Begin Regionally; System Security Enhanced to Provide Greater Protection of Personal Information.

Tokyo, May 1, 2011 – Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) and Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI, the company) announced they will shortly begin a phased restoration by region of PlayStation®Network and Qriocity™ services, beginning with gaming, music and video services to be turned on. The company also announced both a series of immediate steps to enhance security across the network and a new customer appreciation program to thank its customers for their patience and loyalty.

Following a criminal cyber-attack on the company’s data-center located in San Diego, California, U.S.A., SNEI quickly turned off the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, engaged multiple expert information security firms over the course of several days and conducted an extensive audit of the system. Since then, the company has implemented a variety of new security measures to provide greater protection of personal information. SNEI and its third-party experts have conducted extensive tests to verify the security strength of the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. With these measures in place, SCE and SNEI plan to start a phased rollout by region of the services shortly. The initial phase of the rollout will include, but is not limited to, the following:

• Restoration of Online game-play across the PlayStation®3 (PS3) and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) systems
• This includes titles requiring online verification and downloaded games
• Access to Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity for PS3/PSP for existing subscribers
• Access to account management and password reset
• Access to download un-expired Movie Rentals on PS3, PSP and MediaGo
• PlayStation®Home
• Friends List
• Chat Functionality

Working closely with several outside security firms, the company has implemented significant security measures to further detect unauthorized activity and provide consumers with greater protection of their personal information. The company is also creating the position of Chief Information Security Officer, directly reporting to Shinji Hasejima, Chief Information Officer of Sony Corporation, to add a new position of expertise in and accountability for customer data protection and supplement existing information security personnel. The new security measures implemented include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Added automated software monitoring and configuration management to help defend against new attacks
• Enhanced levels of data protection and encryption
• Enhanced ability to detect software intrusions within the network, unauthorized access and unusual activity patterns
• Implementation of additional firewalls

The company also expedited an already planned move of the system to a new data center in a different location that has been under construction and development for several months. In addition, PS3 will have a forced system software update that will require all registered PlayStation Network users to change their account passwords before being able to sign into the service. As an added layer of security, that password can only be changed on the same PS3 in which that account was activated, or through validated email confirmation, a critical step to help further protect customer data.

The company is conducting a thorough and on-going investigation and working with law enforcement to track down and prosecute those responsible for the illegal intrusion.

“This criminal act against our network had a significant impact not only on our consumers, but our entire industry. These illegal attacks obviously highlight the widespread problem with cyber-security. We take the security of our consumers’ information very seriously and are committed to helping our consumers protect their personal data. In addition, the organization has worked around the clock to bring these services back online, and are doing so only after we had verified increased levels of security across our networks,” said Kazuo Hirai, Executive Deputy President, Sony Corporation. “Our global audience of PlayStation Network and Qriocity consumers was disrupted. We have learned lessons along the way about the valued relationship with our consumers, and to that end, we will be launching a customer appreciation program for registered consumers as a way of expressing our gratitude for their loyalty during this network downtime, as we work even harder to restore and regain their trust in us and our services.”

Complimentary Offering and “Welcome Back” Appreciation Program

While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, the company is committed to helping its customers protect their personal data and will provide a complimentary offering to assist users in enrolling in identity theft protection services and/or similar programs. The implementation will be at a local level and further details will be made available shortly in each region.

The company will also rollout the PlayStation Network and Qriocity “Welcome Back” program, to be offered worldwide, which will be tailored to specific markets to provide our consumers with a selection of service options and premium content as an expression of the company’s appreciation for their patience, support and continued loyalty.

• Each territory will be offering selected PlayStation entertainment content for free download. Specific details of this content will be announced in each region soon.
• All existing PlayStation Network customers will be provided with 30 days free membership in the PlayStation Plus premium service. Current members of PlayStation Plus will receive 30 days free service.
• Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity subscribers (in countries where the service is available) will receive 30 days free service.

Additional “Welcome Back” entertainment and service offerings will be rolled out over the coming weeks as the company returns the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services to the quality standard users have grown to enjoy and strive to exceed those exceptions.

SNEI will continue to reinforce and verify security for transactions before resuming the PlayStation®Store and other Qriocity operations, scheduled for this month.

i dont really care about who did it, sony carp suck or even letting this happen, now my credit card info might be stolen? wtf

i'm never buying anything on psstore again
Stop complaing, I don't even own a PS3, but I would not be mad at sony because my Credit Card was stolen, I would blame the hackers.
I agree, stop complaining.

It's not Sony's fault a bunch of mad men with excellent hacking skills decided to go nuts on their online service. Besides, you think Sony cares about your business? They're already loaded. Stop buying stuff on the PSN, for all we and they care, just stop whinning too.

And, like I said, a good idea would have been to not put your credit card number online!
Quote:In addition to the performance visible at the press conference, Sony is offering free access to unspecified PSN content (thought to include games), and a free month of PlayStation Plus premium PSN membership and a month of Qriocity access.

However, as these offerings require users to actually supply or continue to supply Sony with their personal details, there is likely to be a certain amount of resistance – the free month of Plus membership has already been derided as being little more than advertising.

you're 10 years old. you're both too young to own a credit card, and you're also too young to realize how serious this situation actually is.

actually it's 100% their fault for not making their carp secure enough. they should care cause i've supported them by buying their console and several of their games. you clearly have no idea how business works. and judging by the post i quoted below this, they actually do care

so you will get all of this free stuff in trade for not removing your credit card info on psn? not worth it tbh
You don't seem to know how good a hacker can be, let alone a group of pissed hackers. No matter how secure their system is, hackers can make it through.

And, like I said, it's your own fault: You put your credit card number and info online. This is just so stupid. I'm not gonna have any problem because I haven't put it online.

Just stop buying their stuff, then. Your single business will not be missed.
I'm quite supprised sony didn't have a back up incase of an event like this.

there is no such thing as a superhacker or w/e you're talking about. if there were, they would hack bigger things than psn: ebay, youtube, paypal, microsoft etc. psn got hacked because it wasn't secure enough

it's not stupid to put your credit card info on a service which is EXPECTED to be safe. you're basically saying that the billions people who use sites like ebay, paypal, etc are stupid

are you a sony rep since you're saying it wont be missed? because according to what jæms posted, they're offering me free games and playstation plus membership if i don't remove my credit card info. you seriously have no idea how business works so you shouldn't talk about it with all due respect
Yeah, maybe you're right Uncertain Sorry if I sounded...uhh...pretentious, or something XD

Although I think they're just giving the free games (Which will probably be lame) as a weak apology for the week-long maintenance. Probably not really gonna be worth it, though XD

Anyway, isn't the PSN scheduled to come back tomorrow? I'm glad, since the third eisode of the Back To The Fututre game is coming out tomorrow. Don't wanna miss that.
Uh, I'd call billion dollar retailers, security firms, and banks all bigger than the PSN and yet there's countless examples of all of them being hacked for credit card information and the such. This isn't unheard of. If hackers want to break something, they probably could.

Also, the PSN probably won't be back tomorrow. Hirai said this week, and mentioned that the PlayStation Store wasn't going to be one of the services up this week.

Edit: I've got to kind of laugh at the lack of attention span this forum has. All the stuff JAEMS posted was in that press release that Ruka posted before. Given how important this matter is, spending an entire 5 minutes reading the press releases won't hurt.
Disappointing Uncertain

Oh well. Surely, it'll be worth the wait when it's finally released.
This is now day 13 of PSN being down. Though I haven't gotten to get a demo in 2 weeks, I can't wait to get PS+ and my demos back. And maybe Anonymous could hack those other services, they just have a bone to pick with PS3.
They mentioned that was a server with data from 2007. How many credit cards do you expect to still be operational at this point? It's SOE as well. No one really plays their games (I haven't).

apparently 24.6 million people do..its not just credit cards, its personal info too
Still no PSN...

This is getting a little annoying Uncertain
I bought an expensive headset just before the network went down, I haven't even used the thing yet.

Apparently it was meant to be back online yesterday however we're steering into the "sometime this week" instead. My bets are on further delays as sony already claimed they're taking their time.
