Some PlayStation Network services back online within a week
Along with the bombshell that it believes subscriber info was stolen, Sony offered the first timetable for getting PlayStation Network back online.
Somewhat lost in the fallout from Sony's bombshell that it believes hackers obtained personal info and possibly credit card numbers of PlayStation Network and Qriocity service users, was the first information on when those services might be restored. In that update to the blog, Sony senior director communications and social media Patrick Seybold wrote:
We have a clear path to have PlayStation Network and Qriocity systems back online, and expect to restore some services within a week.
That language leaves a lot of leeway but, barring any fresh setbacks, by next Tuesday the systems should be coming back online. When they do it will be interesting to see what changes the new services may include and whether users jump back online right away or feel gun-shy in the wake of the security breach.

You cannot:
play Home
get online in any games
some cannot use Netflix
no access to store
no online access to saves for Plus users
no update today for Plus users
no messaging, chatting, friends list, trophy comparisons
you can still:
get updates for games that need them
play local media stuff through playon or whatever
Basically anything that asks you to authenticate through the PSN isn't going to work-

I'm sure the developers of MK and Socom were happy they launched on the ps3 last week.
-
also the people who bought a ps3 version of portal 2 so they could use the steam pass

The reality is most gamers have no clue (or care) for the differences in graphics between the versions. If they cared they wouldn't be playing it on the console in the first place.

I wish the Sony should have hire more people who is an security administrator for over 5 years to up on the work experience. XD

I don't think this was retribution I think this was taking advantage of a vehicle to retrieve personal information
-
Bound to happen, accelerated because of their stupidity toward the community.
-
If it went the way is being speculated, it was not retribution, but it was poor design on Sony's part. If it didn't happen because of the REBUG cfw and the Dev network not checking to make sure the dev console was who it said it was, or checking to make sure it should access what it was accessing, then it may not be as much of Sony's fault.
-
Neither. This was an organized attack by a group that does this and sells off the information. Parts of it are already being offered for sale.
The FBI will have more information this week (so says the WSJ)
