PSN Down again, Sony says its DDoS attack

PSN was hacked by a DDoS attack yesterday.

"Sony has posted an update on its blog confirming that the network outage is due to DDoS attack, and the safety of users’ personal information.

Like other major networks around the world, the PlayStation Network and Sony Entertainment Network have been impacted by an attempt to overwhelm our network with artificially high traffic.

Although this has impacted your ability to access our network and enjoy our services, no personal information has been breached.

We will continue to work towards fixing this issue and hope to have our services up and running as soon as possible.

We regret any inconvenience this may have caused.

Earlier today, Sony confirmed it was fully aware of the issue and is at work to get the network back online, which you can see below."
