And things get worse.

Now SOE (PC MMO developer and server operator of EverQuest, Star Wars Galaxies, etc.) is offline.

quote: IGN
"We had to temporarily take down SOE services during the night," a spokesperson said. "In the course of our investigation into the intrusion of our systems, we have discovered an issue that warrants enough concern. We will provide an update later today."

No timetable was provided for when the services will be turned back on. Sony Online Entertainment hosts several massively multiplayer titles, including: DC Universe Online, the Everquest series, Freerealms, Star Wars Galaxies, and Planetside.


D'oh!

In a message to its customers, Sony said: "We had previously believed that SOE customer data had not been obtained in the cyber-attacks on the company."

However, it added that "on 1 May we concluded that SOE account information may have been stolen".

Sony was quoted by the Associated Press (AP) news agency as saying that the latest incident occurred on 16 and 17 April.

This was earlier than the larger Playstation user security breach.

Apparently it adds another 25m accounts to the haul.

They don't really need Anonymous, do they? They can demolish whatever reputation they ever had without external assistance.

Indeed. Yet another reason added to the already long list of reasons why I do not do business with Sony. They're a joke!

Is it a coincidence that Microsft have started plugging Kinect on the TV again?

It's really hard to tell with Microsoft. They don't seem to take advantage of their opportunities when they should at times.

 

I was really pulling for Sony too, because I like the idea of their gaming network being free. I hate paying for Live.

Then why do we do it? If we all refused to pay they wouldn't charge! :-{)

This just keeps getting better and better!

Are they capable of running a secure network?

If you own a Sony Walkman, it's probably best to take the batteries out of it just in case.

You gotta wonder how tightly woven Sony's networks are and whether the Sony Reader eBookStore, SonyStyle and other sites are immune.

ha, no doubt! It's going to take a lot for them to recover from this.

I have a really great free gaming network.

It's called A PC WITH INTERNET ACCESS. :@

I remember the good old days when we didn't need centralised authentication servers. (and when I had a super-fast uni connection)

You find a handful of favourite servers, store their details, and then it doesn't matter if the server providing the list goes down.

*insert big long angry rant*
