For some reason some people think that I'm some sort of Sony community manager.

I've been posting on around 80 English language websites over the past fortnight!

you are sony, now get on it!
 
I heard Weaste is being sued for millions because of this. Is it true?
 
Just frustrated its still not back on. Most rumours pointed to the beginning of the week.

Not sure why Weaste is slacking off like this.
 
Maybe if he spent more time working on the PSN than wearing his wifes dresses this would be up and running again.
 
The PSN being down hasn't made a difference to me at all. I rarely play online anyway, plus my FIFA broke.
 
I'm about to throw my PS3 out of my window in rage because of this.
 
Some bedtime reading for you.

Sony has issued a response to questions put to the company by the US Congress, the United States' legislature for the federal government, regarding the PSN hack and breach of customers' personal information.

PlayStation Boss Kaz Hirai submitted written answers to questions posed by the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade, which today held a hearing in Washington on 'The Threat of Data Theft to American Consumers'.

Hirai's full answers can be found here, but in summary, Sony said:

We told the subcommittee that in dealing with this cyber attack we followed four key principles:

1. Act with care and caution.
2. Provide relevant information to the public when it has been verified.
3. Take responsibility for our obligations to our customers.
4. Work with law enforcement authorities.

We also informed the subcommittee of the following:

- Sony has been the victim of a very carefully planned, very professional, highly sophisticated criminal cyber attack.

- We discovered that the intruders had planted a file on one of our Sony Online Entertainment servers named "Anonymous" with the words "We are Legion."

- By April 25, forensic teams were able to confirm the scope of the personal data they believed had been taken, and could not rule out whether credit card information had been accessed. On April 26, we notified customers of those facts.

- As of today, the major credit card companies have not reported any fraudulent transactions that they believe are the direct result of this cyber attack.

- Protecting individuals' personal data is the highestpriority and ensuring that the Internet can be made secure for commerce is also essential. Worldwide, countries and businesses will have to come together to ensure the safety of commerce over the Internet and find ways to combat cybercrime and cyber terrorism.

- We are taking a number of steps to prevent future breaches, including enhanced levels of data protection and encryption; enhanced ability to detect software intrusions, unauthorized access and unusual activity patterns; additional firewalls; establishment of a new data center in an undisclosed location with increased security; and the naming of a new Chief Information Security Officer.

We told the subcommittee about our intent to offer complimentary identity theft protection to U.S. account holders and detailed the "Welcome Back" program that includes free downloads, 30 days of free membership in the PlayStation Plus premium subscription service; 30 days of free service for Music Unlimited subscribers; and extending PlayStation Plus and Music Unlimited subscriptions for the number of days services were unavailable.

We are working around the clock to have some PlayStation Network services restored and we'll be providing specific details shortly. We hope this update is helpful to you, and we will continue to keep you posted as we work to restore our network and provide you with both the entertainment and the security you deserve.

They only said it wasn't an official Anon action, they did say that smaller groups within Anon could well be responsible which seems to be the case.

I've just read this online. Is this a hint from Sony that the apology package they are giving each PSN user is going to include a pair of tickets to the champions league final? I mean, that is exactly the least they can do to make up for me missing out on Mortal Kombat online
