supra joe Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 On April 20, 2011, the PlayStation Network went down for mysterious reasons. Due to recent events involving Anonymous, some believed the downtime to be the result of an another attack by the hacker group, while Sony itself claimed that it shutdown the PSN due to an "external intrusion." As of now, Sony says that the PSN is still not accessible because it's being rebuilt.The latest post from Sony's Patrick Seybold on the PlayStation Blog says: "We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are working around the clock to bring them both back online. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve rebuilding our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure."Seybold admits that this is a "time-consuming" task, but adds that Sony "decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security." He asks for a "little more" of PSN users' patience but doesn't give a timeframe for when the service might be restored.It sounds like something went seriously wrong for Sony here, though Anonymous believes that it's all a cover-up for what is likely an internal issue. Sony saying that it needs to "rebuild" makes me think that the recent issue with Anonymous caused the company to go forward with a major change so that something similar would ideally never happen again.

supra joe Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Sony (SNE) (6758) regrets to inform you that it's so far been unable to repair its PlayStation Network (PSN) and Qriocity platforms. They've been down since April 20. Now it seems the rumors of a hack attack were true, but 4chan-offshoot Anonymous disavows all knowledge. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers point the fingers of blame. Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment. Not to mention TBA... Keir Thomas reports: When Sony's PlayStation Network was taken offline ... all eyes fell on the Anonymous group, who've taken a dislike to Sony's ... treatment of hardware hacker George Hotz. ... Last night Sony confessed that an "external intrusion" caused [it] to take-down the PlayStation Network and ... Qriocity. ... However, they're not saying anything more, or giving a time scale as to when gamers will be able to resume playing online. ... The phrasing Sony used ... indicates that this wasn't a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. ... Instead, this seems to be an individual breaking into the network ... probably why it's taking so long to clean-up. ... The break-in might even be coincidental to the recent Anonymous actions. ... However, the timing is certainly suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 No, as I said it all came about over the Other OS drop. That was just the catalyst and not the main reason for planned attacks on Sonys networks. Linky Oddly they claim not to be the reason for this current outages. Who knows.

3LL Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Bit of an update for you all... Sony has FINALLY given a few answers... See below.... Update on PSN Service Outages Q.1 When did you realise the system had been intruded? We discovered between April 17 and April 19 there was an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into our network. Q.2 How did you know that the system was intruded? We watch for any issues that may be raised with respect to security and monitor for such issues both internally and externally. Q.3 What is the main reason to this problem? Which parts of the system were vulnerable to the intrusion? We are currently conducting a thorough investigation of the situation. Since this is an overall security related issue, we will not comment further on this case. Q.4 What action did you take (are you taking)? Is there any possibility of further unauthorized access? As soon as we learned of this issue, 1) we temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services in order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services, 2) we have also engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full and complete investigation into what happened, and 3) quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our network infrastructure by re-building our system to provide you with greater protection of your personal information. Q.5 How many were affected? How many per each region? What is the latest status of PlayStation Network registered account/ operating countries. Our investigation indicates that all PlayStation Network/ Qriocity accounts may have been affected. Q.6 Does that mean all users’ information was compromised? Tell us more in details of what personal information leaked. In terms of possibility, yes. We believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided: name, address (city, state/province, zip or postal code), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password, login, password security answers, and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data may have been obtained, including purchase history and billing address (city, state/province, zip or postal code). If you have authorized a sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have been obtained. If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, it is possible that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may also have been obtained. Q.7 Have you notified those users? We are sending out e-mails directly to these users to their e-mail address registered on the PS Network accounts. Also, we have posted web notices, and additional necessary procedures have been followed by each region. Q.8 Have you received reports or claims that their PSN ID information/ credit card had been used improperly? Not at this point in time. Q.9 I want to know if my account has been affected. To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant to review your account statements and to monitor your credit reports. Additionally, if you use the same user name or password for your PlayStation Network or Qriocity service account for other unrelated services or accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them. When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are back on line, we also strongly recommend that you log on to change your password. For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email, telephone, postal mail or other scams that ask for personal or sensitive information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email, asking for your credit card number, social security number or other personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information, you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. Q.10 What should I do to prevent any unauthorized use of my (credit card) personal information? For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email, telephone, postal mail or other scams that ask for personal or sensitive information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email, asking for your credit card number, social security number or other personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information, you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. Additionally, if you use the same user name or password for your PlayStation Network or Qriocity service account for other unrelated services or accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them. When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are back on line, we also strongly recommend that you log on to change your password. To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant to review your account statements and to monitor your credit reports. Q.11 Since when have PSN/Qriocity become unavailable and in which region? PSN/Qriocity services have not been available since April 20 (US time) in all regions. Q.12 How come it is taking so much time to resume the service? We are taking the investigation seriously. We decided to keep the service down to allow us to conduct a thorough investigation and verify smooth operation of our network services. Q.13 How serious is this? Have the hackers broken the security on PSN/Qriocity? Are you taking necessary measures to prevent such outage happening in the future? Since this is an overall security related issue, we will not comment further on this case but we are working to restore and maintain the services, including countermeasures against future intrusions. Q.14 When will the service resume? We are taking the investigation seriously. We will keep the service down to allow us to conduct a thorough investigation and verify smooth operation of our network services but are working hard to resume the services as soon as we can be reasonably assured security concerns are addressed. Q.15 Seems like SOE service was also not available/ suffering outage. Is this true? Is this due to the same reason as the PSN/Qriocity outage? SOE's service is available although a service interruption due to an external attack did occur. A thorough investigation is ongoing. Q.16 I want my money back (subscription fee, content) since the PSN/Qriocity was not available. When the full services are restored and the length of the outage is known, we will assess the correct course of action. Q.17 There seems to be some games that cannot be played even offline? Depending on the game titles, but mainly PSN games, some may require access to PSN for trophy sync, security check, etc. The full Q and A session can be followed through this link.......

Scott Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 In a word, no. Far more reliable for 10p a day Yeah, because it's due to a lack of funds that caused this issue for sony. If the right people wanted to take down Xbox live it would be down in a heartbeat. Of course Microsoft have never fallen victim to security threats before....... no... wait....
