Hirai's Address and Sorry Gift from Sony!


Right now I'm trying to keep up with everything the staff is saying, so I'll be posting in bullet points.

  •  As of now, all I've heard is that there will be 30 free days of both Playstation Plus and Qriocity! 
  • They have once again confirmed no credit card information has been stolen for sure.
  • They have asked the FBI to further investigate the external intrusion.
  • Around 10 Million users with active credit card accounts on Playstation Network.

  • Security action being taken: Moving data server, moving from San Diego to a more advanced security location.
  • Detection capabilities are being improved, therefore preventing unauthorized intrusions.
  • Information can only be changed through validated e-mail or currently used Playstation System.
  • Customers must be vigilant, and check credit card activity and statements.
  • Check activity through Playstation's customer support system.
  • Change all passwords regarding Qriocity and Playstation Network

  • Aiming to restore all services this month, this is big.
  • Sony will not contact you in any way about your information, DON'T respond to those e-mails!
  • Sony claims Anonymous has released personal information on executives and their family members.



  An example would be made out of this situation, without a doubt. Never has a gaming network been hacked and consequently been shutdown for so long. All services will be restored in the next month, let's hope it comes quickly. 



  Most importantly, the following will be back up this week:
  • Online gameplay - time to get going on all of your new games
  • Friends List
  • Qriocity Music Unlimited
  • Acount Management - Take control of the situation by changing your password
  • Playstation Home
  • Chat (Text and Voice)
