(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok, As many of you know the Psn has been down for coming up to a week now, While most people where unsure what was happening, It has all become clean in a recent post by the PlayStation blog (You must login or register to view this content.)

This quoted form there blog FAQ gose on to say
"Q.1 When did you realise the system had been intruded?

We discovered between April 17 and April 19 there was an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into our network."

Now this is 10 days from the date i put this, To cover themself they also post within minutes of posting the FAQ with this statement

"We wanted to take this opportunity to clarify a point and answer one of the most frequently asked questions today.
There’s a difference in timing between when we identified there was an intrusion and when we learned of consumers’ data being compromised. We learned there was an intrusion 19th April and subsequently shut the services down. We then brought in outside experts to help us learn how the intrusion occurred and to conduct an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the incident. It was necessary to conduct several days of forensic analysis, and it took our experts until yesterday to understand the scope of the breach. We then shared that information with our consumers and announced it publicly yesterday evening."

While this dosent explain why The peoples who's info was stored on there servers it took them a full 10 days To inform us of what was happening.

Also there has been no leads about who the hacker/s are it is known that it WAS NOT anonymous they said from day one that it was nothing to do with them.

It is also on the news that over 3 Million credit card details MAY have been taken.

Sony have not said this is true or not yet, Although they did have this to say

"To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant to review your account statements and to monitor your credit reports."

I will keep you updated with any news.

It's not wise to ask for rep on this site; you'll get -repped instead.

And all you did was copy/paste
