PSN Offline Due to External Intrusion



Hacker group Anonymous said today they are not claiming responsibility for this particular outage, however. 

The statement in full from Senior Director of Corporate Communications Patrick Seybold can be read below: 

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.



Providing quality entertainment services to our customers and partners is our utmost priority. We are doing all we can to resolve this situation quickly, and we once again thank you for your patience. We will continue to update you promptly as we have additional information to share.

Original Story: PlayStation Network outages may last up to a full day or two before the service is back up and running, Sony said today. 

The company is currently investigating the cause of the outages, which began late last night. No word yet on whether or not this outage is related to the same outage occurrences from earlier this month that was likely spurred on by the hacker group known as Anonymous.
