Im a bit late on this, but as no one appears to have posted about it

On the 3rd may sony admitted a '2ND' security breach resulted in 'Sony Online Entertainment' being hacked and details stolen

Theyre blaming a well know hacking group called 'Anonymous'. This was due to a file being found on their servers with the line 'WE ARE LEGION' which Anonymous leave behind as a sort of footprint

I was half expecting PS3 to be online last tuesday - its looking like next week at the earliest the way things are going (that said, ive not yet tried today to be honest)

I don't know what else there is to say on the subject that hasn't already been said. It wasn't exactly a surprise to find out another part of Sony's network had been breached.
