Tokyo, May 1, 2011 – Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) and Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI, the company) announced they will shortly begin a phased restoration by region of PlayStation®Network and Qriocity™ services, beginning with gaming, music and video services to be turned on. The company also announced both a series of immediate steps to enhance security across the network and a new customer appreciation program to thank its customers for their patience and loyalty.

Following a criminal cyber-attack on the company’s data-center located in San Diego, California, U.S.A., SNEI quickly turned off the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, engaged multiple expert information security firms over the course of several days and conducted an extensive audit of the system. Since then, the company has implemented a variety of new security measures to provide greater protection of personal information. SNEI and its third-party experts have conducted extensive tests to verify the security strength of the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. With these measures in place, SCE and SNEI plan to start a phased rollout by region of the services shortly. The initial phase of the rollout will include, but is not limited to, the following:

Restoration of Online game-play across the PlayStation®3 (PS3) and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) systems
-This includes titles requiring online verification and downloaded games
Access to Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity for PS3/PSP for existing subscribers
Access to account management and password reset
Access to download un-expired Movie Rentals on PS3, PSP and MediaGo
PlayStation®Home
Friends List
Chat Functionality

Working closely with several outside security firms, the company has implemented significant security measures to further detect unauthorized activity and provide consumers with greater protection of their personal information. The company is also creating the position of Chief Information Security Officer, directly reporting to Shinji Hasejima, Chief Information Officer of Sony Corporation, to add a new position of expertise in and accountability for customer data protection and supplement existing information security personnel. The new security measures implemented include, but are not limited to, the following:

Added automated software monitoring and configuration management to help defend against new attacks
Enhanced levels of data protection and encryption
Enhanced ability to detect software intrusions within the network, unauthorized access and unusual activity patterns
Implementation of additional firewalls

The company also expedited an already planned move of the system to a new data center in a different location that has been under construction and development for several months. In addition, PS3 will have a forced system software update that will require all registered PlayStation Network users to change their account passwords before being able to sign into the service. As an added layer of security, that password can only be changed on the same PS3 in which that account was activated, or through validated email confirmation, a critical step to help further protect customer data.

The company is conducting a thorough and on-going investigation and working with law enforcement to track down and prosecute those responsible for the illegal intrusion.

“This criminal act against our network had a significant impact not only on our consumers, but our entire industry. These illegal attacks obviously highlight the widespread problem with cyber-security. We take the security of our consumers’ information very seriously and are committed to helping our consumers protect their personal data. In addition, the organization has worked around the clock to bring these services back online, and are doing so only after we had verified increased levels of security across our networks,” said Kazuo Hirai, Executive Deputy President, Sony Corporation. “Our global audience of PlayStation Network and Qriocity consumers was disrupted. We have learned lessons along the way about the valued relationship with our consumers, and to that end, we will be launching a customer appreciation program for registered consumers as a way of expressing our gratitude for their loyalty during this network downtime, as we work even harder to restore and regain their trust in us and our services.”

Complimentary Offering and “Welcome Back” Appreciation Program
While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, the company is committed to helping its customers protect their personal data and will provide a complimentary offering to assist users in enrolling in identity theft protection services and/or similar programs. The implementation will be at a local level and further details will be made available shortly in each region.

The company will also rollout the PlayStation Network and Qriocity “Welcome Back” program, to be offered worldwide, which will be tailored to specific markets to provide our consumers with a selection of service options and premium content as an expression of the company’s appreciation for their patience, support and continued loyalty.

Central components of the “Welcome Back” program will include:

Each territory will be offering selected PlayStation entertainment content for free download. Specific details of this content will be announced in each region soon.
All existing PlayStation Network customers will be provided with 30 days free membership in the PlayStation Plus premium service. Current members of PlayStation Plus will receive 30 days free service.
Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity subscribers (in countries where the service is available) will receive 30 days free service.

Additional “Welcome Back” entertainment and service offerings will be rolled out over the coming weeks as the company returns the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services to the quality standard users have grown to enjoy and strive to exceed those exceptions.

SNEI will continue to reinforce and verify security for transactions before resuming the PlayStation®Store and other Qriocity operations, scheduled for this month.

ΧΡΕΩΣΕΙΣ ΠΙΣΤΩΤΙΚΗΣ ΚΑΡΤΑΣ ΜΕΣΩ ΥΠΟΚΛΟΠΗΣ


Είμαι κάτοχος της πιστωτικής κάρτας MASTERCARD υπ αριθμόν ......
Στον τελευταίο λογαριασμό που μου αποστείλατε υπάρχουν οι παρακάτω χρεώσεις:


Οι οποίες δεν έγιναν από εμένα. Παρακαλώ να πιστωθεί η αξία των παραπάνω αναφερόμενων κινήσεων.

Τα στοιχεία μου είναι τα...

Και τηλέφωνο επικοινωνίας....

Με επιφύλαξη για έλεγχο παλαιότερων αλλά και μεταγενέστερων λογαριασμών,

Θα είμαι στη διάθεσή σας για οποιεσδήποτε διευκρινήσεις

Με εκτίμηση

Λογικα θα βγει ακρη αφου εγινε εκεινες τις μερες.

Ρίξε κι εσύ μήνυση στη Σονυ να τα βγάλεις πίσω στο πολλαπλάσιο. :thumbsup:

αν δε κανω λαθος,τα terms που κανείς δεν διαβαζει αλλα ολοι παταμε accept στο sign up τους εχουν καλλυμενους σε τετοιες περιπτωσεις.

Χωρίς να το έχω ψάξει, εφόσον έκαναν ήδη οι άλλοι στο US μάλλον όχι. Δηλαδή το βρίσκω και δύσκολο να έχουν βάλει κάτι τέτοιο γιατί είναι κάπως τραγελαφικό.

Δε μπορώ να βρω το link τώρα, αλλά στο Ars Technica είχα διαβάσει πως στις ΗΠΑ υπάρχει νομικό πλαίσιο που καθορίζει υποχρεωτικές προδιαγραφές για την ασφάλεια των συναλλαγών και της αποθήκευσης στοιχείων όπως οι πιστωτικές κάρτες. Εάν η Sony τηρούσε τις προδιαγραφές του νόμου, τότε δεν έχει ευθύνη.

Αλλά και γενικότερα δε καταλαβαίνω γιατί θα έπρεπε να έχει ευθύνη η Sony, αν και εφόσον είχαν πάρει κάθε εύλογο μέτρο ασφάλειας. Είναι ανάλογο με το να έχεις π.χ. δανειστεί κάτι από ένα φίλο, να σου διαρρήξουν το σπίτι και, μεταξύ άλλων, να το αρπάξουν. Εκτός κι αν είσαι απρόσεκτος και π.χ. αφήνεις την πόρτα του σπιτιού ανοικτή, δεν θα ήταν άδικο να σε κατηγορεί επειδή έτυχε να σε διαρρήξουν;

δεν είναι φίλος η sony. αν δανειστείς λεφτά από τράπεζα και στα κλέψουν διαρρήκτες, what now motherfucker;

Άλλαξες από αγγλικά σ' ελληνικά για να βάλεις ερωτηματικό;

Ξέρεις, υπάρχει και στο US keyboard layout.

υπεράσπιση fail, όντως άλλαξα γλώσσα

Now that certain PSN services have been restored and you’re once again enjoying online gaming, it seems a good time to confirm what is being offered as part of the Welcome Back programme.

Once we restore PlayStation Store, which will be just a little while longer, you will have the opportunity to claim your Welcome Back gifts. Please note that the Welcome Back programme is only available for those countries with access to PlayStation Store*.

All existing PlayStation Network members will be able to access the following from PlayStation Store*:

Two PS3 games from the following list:

LittleBigPlanet
Infamous*
Wipeout HD/Fury
Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty
Dead Nation*

For those with PSP accounts, you will also be eligible to download two PSP games from the following list:

LittleBigPlanet PSP
ModNation PSP
Pursuit Force
Killzone Liberation*

- 30 days free PlayStation Plus membership for non PS Plus subscribers*

- Existing PlayStation Plus subscribers will be given 60 days free subscription.

- For existing Music Unlimited subscribers, you will be given 30 days free subscription.

- We are working on a Welcome Back offer in PlayStation Home and will share that when it is confirmed.

I would like to thank all of the developers and publishers involved in this programme for their support in making this happen. We certainly couldn’t have done it without you.

You will be able to access this content once PlayStation Store comes back online and we are doing everything we can to make that happen as soon as possible.

The PlayStation Network will be offline from 4pm today until midnight, suggesting that the Store will be back up and running tomorrow, as previously rumoured.

“PlayStation Network [will be] offline for scheduled maintenance,” says an update from Sony today, which also states that that gamers will be unable to access the following services:

PlayStation Store on PS3 and PSP.
PlayStation Network Account Management.
PlayStation Network Account Registration.

“In addition,” says the bulletin, “you will not be able to sign in to PlayStation Network from eu.playstation.com.”

“If you wish to play online during the maintenance, please ensure you sign in to PSN before 16:00 on Tuesday 24 May 2011.”

“During this maintenance, you can continue to collect in-game trophies and these will be updated on your profile once PlayStation Network is back up and running.”

Sony on Tuesday said its websites in three countries had been hacked with 8,500 Greek user accounts compromised, in a blow to efforts to restore confidence after a huge data breach affecting millions.
