Sony Re-launches Playstation Network After Longest Ever Downtime

By:


The Sony PlayStation Network has been re-launched across Europe and the United States after having suffered its longest ever downtime which began as an external intrusion first detected on April 20th.

Sony discovered a huge security breach that led to the theft of personal data from millions of users. The news of PlayStation Networks restart will be welcomed by gamers and they will be pleased to know that the data security systems have been greatly upgraded and new security features will greet PlayStation users after they download the mandatory v3.61 system update.

All users are required to change their PlayStation Network passwords when they first attempt to sign back into the Network, and although Kazuo Hirai, Sonys Executive Deputy President has announced in quite generic terminology, the upgraded security components are described as advanced security technology increased levels of encryption and additional firewalls, also a new early warning detection system is also in place to identify unusual activity that could signal an attack in the network.

Gamers the world over will rejoice at the news that restoring its online PlayStation video game Network has already begun and will be fully restored by the end of May and there is more good news as the company said that it would be offering a welcome back package to users that would include some premium content. Although Sony has encountered this set back you can be assured that their Internet security will now have seriously beefed-up safeguards.

Dedicated gamers are sticking with Sony and remaining loyal to their PlayStation 3 purely because they know they have the best gaming console on the market offering graphics and features that are simply stunning but, having said this, the console has encountered some problems apart from the current security breach.


The most commonly reported of a few problems is the YLOD (yellow light of death), also freezing, not reading discs, no video and should you have a sniff of any problems the quickest way to get it sorted is take or send your console to a reputable PlayStation 3 repair service.
