The online gameplay/shopping service for Sony’s PlayStation 3 and PSP has been offline since last Wednesday night. On its blog, Sony cited an “external intrusion” as the reason for the downtime. Today it added that the company would be completely retooling the PlayStation Network in a “time intensive process” with no set end date.
If you’ve used a credit card on the PlayStation Network, you might want to keep an eye on your statements: Sony doesn’t yet know if customers’ financial information has been compromised by whomever cracked its servers, a representative told the IDG News Service.
Though the outage may appear to be the work of the hacker group Anonymous, which declared “war” on Sony following the company’s lawsuit against hacker George Hotz, Anonymous has disavowed responsibility.
