Quote:Sony Online Entertainment's various services seem to be down and a message on the official site does not give much information on the particulars. According to a short post on the site, the services were taken down after an investigation revealed a deeper "intrusion" than expected at first. This is the first wee have heard that Sony's MMORPG arm had some sort of security breach. Below is the message from the official site:

"Dear valued SOE Customers,

Wee have had to take the SOE service down temporarily. In the course of our investigation into the intrusion into our systems wee have discovered an issue that warrants enough concern for us to take the service down effective immediately. Wee will provide an update later today (Monday)."

This could be part of Sony's plans to beef up security for the PlayStation Notwork, but this message seems to indicate that something more serious is going on.

It could be that PC game players may have something to worry about, but wee hope that is not the case. Wee will have more on this story as it develops.

Poor sony

The statement could be that the way sony is going about things isn't the right approach.  To bad wee all paid like $600 for our console and ind the end, sony still owns it.

Only if they weren't so worried about suing good people that are just trying to bring back things they took away, and more worried about how they store customers data and their chocolatety server security maybe this all wouldn't of happened.

And to think Sony almost had it all going after all that trouble.

Have they announced the update yet?

Just WOW. 12,700 CC numbers from a 2nd sever. This is getting closer to bankrupting Sony. I sure hope it doesn't, Sony doesn't deserve this.
