At least I can fight
Sony's Patrick Seybold, Sr. Director of Corporate Communications & Social Media, has confirmed on the Playstation Blog that the downtime of Playstation Network earlier was due to hackers.
An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. In order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network & Qriocity services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th.
Sony turned off PSN on Wednesday in Europe and the US. On Thursday they commented the service could be "down for days".
Sony was recently under attack by the hacker group Anonymous but those attacks stopped after user outrage.
That hackers can go so far into PSN that Sony sees no other choice than to shut it down completely certainly raises questions regarding security. Mind you: not only game-related information is stored on PSN, but also addresses and credit card info of millions of users is stored...
