This meant that the hackers behind the PSN intrusion were likely the same that hit SOE, as the Sony arm notes they were ”similar in nature.” PSN remains down.
”This is NOT a second attack,” clarified SOE in a statement, but ”new information” they gleamed May 1st ”as part of our ongoing investigation of the external intrusion in April.” There is no time frame to SOE services returning, ”it will be as soon as we are 100% confident that we can resume a safe and secure service.”
How did SOE become exploited like PSN if they’ve separate systems? ”While the two systems are distinct and operated separately, given that they are both under the Sony umbrella, there is some degree of architecture that overlaps,” explain an SOE rep.
”The intrusions were similar in nature,” they added. Is PlayStation Network being offline upset your videogaming habits much? SOE promises to ’make it up’ to us with gifts.
