Sony has posted a statement on its blog this morning outlining reasons for the delay to the restoration to PSN services.
Many, including us, had expected services to be restored by this weekend. This now looks increasingly unlikely.

“We apologize for the delay”

According to the blog Sony is not yet satisfied with the security of the new system. Patrick Seybold said, "As you’ve heard us say, our utmost priorities are the security of the network and ensuring your data is safe. We won’t restore the services until we can test the system’s strength in these respects."
Sony had originally stated that services would be up "within a week", setting 4 May as the initial deadline. However, since then another attack has been discovered, this time on the SOE servers.
Seybold pointed to this breach as another reason for the delay, "We were unaware of the extent of the attack on Sony Online Entertainment servers, and we are taking this opportunity to conduct further testing of the incredibly complex system."
Yesterday, Sony confirmed that it had begun testing of the new system giving rise to hopes that the service would be restored sooner rather than later.
Seybold concluded the statement by saying, "We apologize for the delay and inconvenience of this network outage."
