Playstation Network six days after the blackout, so it goes

You are about a week since we met last Wednesday the online gaming platform Sony was off to protest of millions of users who have not been able to access their accounts or make purchases online play on PlayStation Store since. What at first seemed a minor effect, it was soon confirmed as a serious flaw that has left by the wayside when sounded 8001050F error .

All eyes then rested on Anonymous , the activist group that declared war weeks ago Sony for his bitter attack on the hacker who managed to purchase PS3 , GeoHot . After many hours of continuing DDoS attacks Playstation Network , the masked found that its offensive was causing them to lose popular support they had enjoyed until then. Ceased business, but promised to find another way to hurt Sony " will not harm consumers . " Indeed, this blackout PSN directly affects them, he soon came forward to deny any involvement .

What is happening then? asked the gaming community as it was found that he had knocked PSN was only an external attack. This is confirmed by Sony on the afternoon of Wednesday 20 April:

Due to external intrusion and to carry out a full investigation and verify the stability and security of our network services PlayStation Network and we Qriocity off on the afternoon of Wednesday 20 April. The provision to users of our entertainment services are primarily our highest priority. We are making every effort to resolve the situation as soon as possible, and once again thank you for your patience. We will keep you informed of coming events as information.

On April 24 Sony left to clear the seriousness of the intrusion by announcing the need for strengthening their network infrastructure, essential to ensure the safety of Playstation Network. Then jumped alarms Security? Are we talking about piracy or perhaps something even more serious in regard to user privacy?

Kotaku offered the shocking answer: Sony was not able to ensure that bank details are annexed to the PSN accounts had not been stolen. Satoshi Fukuoka, Patrick Seybold, Sony's Tokyo protavoces and America respectively, promising a thorough investigation confirmed and updates constant. The reality is that Sony's press office is not fulfilling that promise, demonstrating their ineptitude at such critical situation.

And while some media say the theft of banking data, other nuance that a PS3 firmware hack has to pass the debug console system, so that anyone can fatten his wallet PSN through fake credit cards. Developers are also being advised that the connection will be impossible, which could confirm the latter theory, understood as referring in circles Codename: Rebug .

Our data are in danger or it is all a ploy hacker to get content for free, the truth is that Sony is no transparency. The consternation of the players can end up costing a company face has never been characterized precisely by a comprehensive customer service too.

- We work as fast as we can but this is an arduous process, while Sony says thanks patience. The will, but you better speak up and not delaying the inevitable: if you have stolen data is assuming responsibility, rolling heads and study some form of compensation.
