PSN resumes normal service, maintenance rescheduled

4.5
Following yesterday's distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, Sony said this morning both the PlayStation Network and the Sony Entertainment Network are back online. Users can now resume game downloads, play games online, buy stuff off the PlayStation Store, use apps and all the other PSN services as normal.

Furthermore, the PSN maintenance that was due to take place today is to be rescheduled. The company will announce the new date and time for the maintenance "shortly."

Zips I expected something like this to happen though, as its a new system and there would probably be one or two ways of hacking it. Hopefully it doesnt happen again.


I hope it doesnt, But i feel that it will.

Hopefully Sony strengthen ups to prevent such attack in the future.

ImmortalGengar I like how thee picture says "Never stop playing" yet they seem to go down at the click of a button! They need to invest in some better security so these no name kids can't take down their servers as easy as they can!


i agree they need to spend some money

I doubt they are kids. Yeah it is easy to click a button but they're clever. I do not agree with what they're doing but..

Dreaam I've just sat and read the twitter of the "hackers" its quite funny.


I do not think so. They are eventually going to be caught and jailed for their actions. They did not JUST hit PSN offline, they stalled one of Sony's Presidents flight via a bomb threat.


Yeah, after that threat the FBI is getting in this and It will be crazy man.
