Sony You just launched a new system on a new network but it all leads to the same server. How more vulnerable could you make your network?"

wonder if he did extract personal info

It seems they tried to deny PSN was down until it was too obvious

"We are aware that some users are experiencing difficulty enjoying the PSN. We have confirmed the PSN is stable. If you are having trouble, we encourage you to contact your internet service provider."


I hope for their sake that this time they will announce the eventual leak of personal data before it becomes too obvious


No. That "update" is from last week when some people with specific ISPs were having issues with PSN and the problem was indeed with ISPs, not PSN. It was dated 15th August, which is when that happened. I'm not surprised that forum goers can't read but journalists really should...know how to read.

They only later changed the page to reflect today's situation and they never denied anything.

you think they had that message for 10 days online ? that makes no sense

It is the status "online" that was updated on the 15th of august :

The company continues to claim its current network status is "online". However, the page also states it was last updated on 15 August.

I can second that it did have it there. I don't know what your problem is, they've changed it now.

Why not? It was an issue with ISPs. Sony had nothing to fix, therefore they left the warning there in case problems with ISPs persisted.
