On April 20, 2011, there was an outage on the Playstation Network. The updates on the PSN Service Outage on the Playstation Blog on April 20th was posted by Patrick Seybold, Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media stated that "We’re aware certain functions of PlayStation Network are down. We will report back here as soon as we can with more information. Thank you for your patience."
Now over two weeks now and the Playstation Network still hasn't resumed to normal services. On Tuesday, April 26 they shared that some information that was compromised in connection with an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into the network.
"Once again, we’d like to apologize to the many users who were inconvenienced and worried abut this situation.
We want to state this again given the increase in speculation about credit card information being used fraudulently. One report indicated that a group tried to sell millions of credit card numbers back to Sony. To my knowledge there is no truth to this report of a list, or that Sony was offered an opportunity to purchase the list.
We continue to work with law enforcement and forensic experts to identify the criminals behind the attack. Once again, we apologize for causing users concern over this matter." Patrick Seybold May 02, 2011 @ Playstion.Blog
