This time, the still unknown 'hackers' started their 'third wave' attack by accessing an old unused Playstation website from 2001, and publishing what they found on other public websites, a complete list of all the contest winners with over 2,500 very detailed personal information, it not known at this time if more attacks are still coming in against other Playstation websites.

Sony spokeswoman confirmed with Reuters that relaunching within the original expected time frame would not be possible, and there is no firm date for the return of online services.
The latest note from SCEA senior director of corporate communications Patrick Seybold on Friday night said, "When we held the press conference in Japan last week, based on what we knew, we expected to have the services online within a week."
"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," he added. "...Additional comprehensive system checks and testing are still required, and we must complete that process before bringing the systems online."
Sony is also reportedly considering offering a reward for help in catching the perpetrators of the cyber attack, according to Wall Street Journal's All Things Digital blog, which cited "people familiar with the matter."
The reward may or may not be implemented, the report said, as Sony executives are weighing the pros and cons of such a move, which would be made in coordination with law enforcement.
In trying to stop this new 'third wave' attack, Sony shutdown more of their servers, and are now thinking of 'offering a reward' to bring these trouble-making 'hackers' to justice, as Sony has had no luck in tracking them down for almost a month now!

When you have a massive network......and it attacked it takes time to look over the data.
With a event like this your forced to comb over the whole thing. Takes alot of time your looking at about 100 million big database. On top of the core systems of PSN and anything else.
So far if people read what sony said they have been careful with the words. Each step doing the right move......problem is people ain't reading between the lines. Or news sources helping by not posting the same thing as sony. Breaking down what they mean.
Sony going to need to work very hard to counter this.
Problem also appear to forget that all networks are not safe. Does show a major loop hole in all networks which ain't banks. That is built to the lowest cost with semi decent protection. Something we need to fix if we want more information online.
That rumour of another take am taking with salt and waiting it out. It annoying me but am willing to wait till they have a safer network. Just hope people see the scale of the problem and it not just sony own fault but a failure within companies view on data. Build it cheap and don't patch holes when they appear.

I think most people understand that this is big and will take sometime, What the community is pissed about is so far the last few updates have been
A week lol
A week lol
A week lol
We don't know lol
We don't know lol
We don't know lol
They just repeat the same update over and over again, Not really informing us of anything new and in turn, they don't have the balls to set a date in case they miss it.

However is hacking the PSN for "justice" must be blind to the fact that the only people affected are the users.

these hackers are getting out of hand, it's about ****ing time someone stopped these ignorant reckless pussies with no sense of value for other people's products and making a company lose billions especially in this crappy economy, I can't stand it! Sony Doesn't deserve this these hackers should just stop and leave the damn company alone and stop ruining peoples gaming experiences!
