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.

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.
