PSN back online after data breach. You must change passwords [see post 1]

[DABhand]

Even then they could have had a sister server running an updated apache while the main server was updated and restarted.

[Chrysalis]

A company the size of sony I would expect to have multiple apache sitting behind a proxy (proxy also acts as security filter and cache) and as you said be able to take down apache slaves without downtime. But what I would expect and what they do can obviously be very different things.

Latest update

As you may know, we’ve begun the process of restoring the service through internal testing of the new system. We’re still working to confirm the security of the network infrastructure, as well as working with a variety of outside entities to confirm with them of the security of the system.

Another day another data breach?

May 7 (Reuters) - Sony said on Saturday it had removed off the Internet the personal details of 2,500 people that had been stolen by hackers and posted on a website.

So, it seems the allegations that was running an outdated Apache server and no firewall are actually a load of rubbish.

It was meant to be the weekend there but I think they spotted a feew issues at the last minute and want to make sure everything is totally 100% before turning it back on.

[Hom3r]

My XBL friends reckon that this has cost Sony the US market, what with the LG lawsuit and PS3 import ban.

So could be US hackers be behind this because of this?

read it now and it turns out that blog is rubbish. sony will have many servers, the fact a single one cached by google was not out of date doesnt mean they all had the same status.

[EYEZ]

Think what they mean is that ALL Services will be restored by 31st of May.

The PSN will return in stages.
