PLAYSTATION- For Sony, many months of fighting hackers off the video game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and fighting George Hotz, Sony thought it was finally over.
Sony Playstation 3's online service, Playstation Network was on 24/7 and was only turned off for a couple of hours somtimes for mainteinence, but was never turned off for over a week, until April 2011. When Annoymous tried to kill Playstation Network, but taking personal information from members.
They took passwords, addresses, birth dates, everything.
Around April 27, 2011, Sony emailed over 77 million users stating these attacks.

Sony fighting for Playstation Network, Xbox Live under attack

PLAYSTATION, XBOX 360- It is like a hacker flu is going around consoles. After many hackers have been hacking the online service, Playstation Network, Xbox Live gamers were playing hack-free. Until today. Xbox Live gamers that were playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 got a phishing scam. The issue reads "Users may receive protential phishing attempts via title specific messaging while playing Modern Warfare 2".
So those gamers better be careful playing. At least it's not like "The Playstation Network Attacks 2011".

Playstation Network still offline after a week

PLAYSTATION-After about a week, over 70 million PSN members still haven't been able to go online. After the release of big games, such as Mortal Kombat, Sony tries to keep the service alive, by battling the hackers for the personal information.
The hackers, aka Annoymous, have wrecked the service for a week already, trying to get personal information such as addresses, date of births and credit card numbers, too.
So Sony might have to fight off these hackers(like Annoymous, George Hotz and others too) from taking over Playstation Network, or they might just have to terminate the service, and make a better protected one, like Xbox Live.
