* 23 April 2011, Sony expressed their regrets for the outage and stated they were "re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure".

* 25 April 2011, Sony's Senior Director of Corporate Communications & [[Social Media]], [[Patrick Seybold]], stated on the PlayStation Blog "Unfortunately, I don’t have an update or timeframe to share at this point in time." further reiterating that the rebuilding of the Network was a "time intensive" process. Sony did not relay any additional information as to the cause or effect of the "external intrusion".<ref>{{cite web| url=http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/25/psn-update/| title=PSN Update| date=2011-04-25| publisher=SCEA PlayStation| accessdate=2011-04-25}}</ref>

* 26 April 2011, [[Sony]], by means of their Verified [[Corporate]] [[Twitter]] account, reiterated PlayStation was "working quickly to get the PSN/Qriocity services back online quickly". Sony further tweeted, "We'll keep you updated", only to recite the link from April 25.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://twitter.com/#!/Sony/status/62729670604488705| title=@Sony: @Playstation is working to ..| date=2011-04-25| publisher=Sony| accessdate=2011-04-26}}</ref> Sony commented later that day stating "We have a clear path to have PlayStation Network and Qriocity systems back online, and expect to restore some services within a week."

==Sony response==
===Explanation of delays===
Sony's Senior Director of Corporate Communications & [[Social Media]], [[Patrick Seybold]], explained on the PlayStation Blog why Sony took so long to inform PSN users of the data theft:

"I wanted to take this opportunity to clarify a point and answer one of the most frequently asked questions today. There’s a difference in timing between when we identified there was an intrusion and when we learned of consumers’ data being compromised. We learned there was an intrusion April 19th and subsequently shut the services down. We then brought in outside experts to help us learn how the intrusion occurred and to conduct an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the incident. It was necessary to conduct several days of forensic analysis, and it took our experts until yesterday to understand the scope of the breach. We then shared that information with our consumers and announced it publicly this afternoon."

===Sony investigation===
The announcement that personal details of PlayStation Network users resulted in an internal investigation at Sony as to why the situation occurred.

Sony gave an update in regards to a criminal investigation in a blog posted on the 27 April 2011: 'We are currently working with law enforcement on this matter as well as a recognized technology security firm to conduct a complete investigation. This malicious attack against our system and against our customers is a criminal act and we are proceeding aggressively to find those responsible.'<ref>{{Cite news |title=Q&A #1 for PlayStation Network and Qriocity Services |last=Seybold |first=Patrick |url=http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/27/qa-1-for-playstation-network-and-qriocity-services/ |publisher=Sony |date=27 April 2011 |accessdate=28 April 2011}}</ref>

[[Sony Computer Entertainment of America]] confirmed they have reported the possible data theft to the [[FBI]] in the hope the culprit(s) can be tracked down. Sony declined to comment if [[Anonymous (group)|Anonymous]] was responsible for the attack which is attributed to [[Hacktivism]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.inquisitr.com/102639/anonymous-declares-war-on-sony-over-ps3/ |title=Anonymous declares war on Sony over PS3 hacking case |publisher=Inquisitr.com |date=2011-04-04 |accessdate=2011-04-28}}</ref> The FBI has declined to confirm or deny if an investigation was underway.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Sony Says Hackers May Have Stolen PlayStation Network Users’ Personal Data |last=Edwards |first=Cliff |url=http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-04-26/sony-says-network-hackers-may-have-stolen-users-personal-data.html |work=Bloomberg |date=27 April 2011 |accessdate=27 April 2011}}</ref>

===Inability to use PlayStation 3 content===
While remaining offline, the [[PlayStation 3]] was unable to play certain [[Capcom]] titles that were downloaded from the PlayStation Store.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/34240/Opinion_Sonys_Communication_Problem.php| title=Opinion: Sony's Communication Problem| date=2011-04-24| publisher=Gamasutra| accessdate=2011-04-24}}</ref> Streaming video providers [[Hulu]], [[Vudu]], and [[LoveFilm]] are noted to be inaccessible displaying the same maintenance message.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}

==Criticism of Sony's handling of the incident==
===Delayed warning of possible data theft===
On 26 April 2011, nearly a week after the Network was temporarily disabled, Sony confirmed that it "cannot rule out the possibility"<ref>{{cite web |title=Sony's PlayStation hack apology |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13206004 |publisher=bbc.co.uk |date=27 April 2011 |accessdate=27 April 2011}}</ref> that [[Personally identifiable information]] such as PlayStation Network username, password, home address, and email had been compromised. Sony also mentioned the possibility of credit card data being obtained after claiming that encryption had been placed on the databases, which would partially satisfy [[PCI Compliance]] for storing credit card information on a server.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}

Subsequent to the announcement in both the official blog and by e-mail, PlayStation Network users were asked to safeguard credit card transactions by checking bank statements. This warning came nearly a week after the initial " [[Hacker (computer security)|external intrusion]] " and when the Network was shut down.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Furore at Sony after hackers steal Playstation online |url=http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/27/uk-sony-stolendata-idUKTRE73Q0F720110427 |publisher=Reuters |date=27 April 2011 |accessdate=27 April 2011}}</ref>

Some disputed this explanation and queried that if Sony deemed the situation so severe that they had to shut down the PlayStation Network on 20 April 2011, Sony should have subsequently warned users of possible data theft rather than on the 26 April 2011.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Sony defends notification delay in data fiasco |last=Mitchell |first=Stewart |url=http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/security/367027/sony-defends-notification-delay-in-data-fiasco |publisher=www.pcpro.co.uk |date=27 April 2011 |accessdate=28 April 2011}}</ref> Concerns have been raised over both violations of [[PCI Compliance]] and failure to notify users immediately following breach of security involving financial information and credit card data.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} US Senator Richard Blumenthal wrote to Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO [[Jack Tretton]] questioning Sony why it took so long to inform users that personal details could have been obtained through unauthorized means.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Senator: Lack of details on PlayStation Network outage 'troubling' |last=Molina |first=Brett |url=http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2011/04/senator-lack-of-details-on-playstation-network-outage-troubling/1 |publisher=USA Today |date=27 April 2011 |accessdate=27 April 2011}}</ref>

===Unencrypted personal details===
Credit card data was encrypted, but Sony admitted that user information was not encrypted at the time of the intrusion.<ref>{{Cite news |title=PlayStation Network hack: why it took Sony seven days to tell the world |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2011/apr/27/playstation-network-hack-sony |publisher=guardian.co.uk |date=27 April 2011 |accessdate=27 April 2011}}</ref><ref name="bare_url">http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/27/qa-1-for-playstation-network-and-qriocity-services/</ref> The [[Daily Telegraph]] reported that "If the provider stores passwords unencrypted, then it's very easy for somebody else – not just an external attacker, but members of staff or contractors working on Sony's site – to get access and discover those passwords, potentially using them for nefarious means."<ref>{{Cite web |title=PlayStation hack: Sony users urged to change passwords |last=Williams |first=Christopher |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/sony/8478404/PlayStation-hack-Sony-users-urged-to-change-passwords.html |publisher=Daily Telegraph |date=28 April 2011 |accessdate=28 April 2011}}</ref>

==Aftermath==
===Compensation to users for disruption===
As of 28 April 2011, Sony have not commented on if they will be giving compensation or concessions to users for the Network disruption.

[[Hulu]] however has given notice that they will be compensating PlayStation 3 users for the inability to use their service during the outage.<ref>{{cite web|author=Posted Yesterday 5:01 PM - By Leah Jackson |url=http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/712202/hulu-offering-free-credit-for-ps3-subscribers/ |title=Hulu Offering Free Credit For PS3 Subscribers |publisher=G4tv.com |date= |accessdate=2011-04-28}}</ref> It is unknown

===Government reaction===
The revealing of possible data theft concerned authorities around the world. ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' reports Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at [[Sophos]], as saying: "This certainly ranks as one of the biggest data losses ever to affect individuals."<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/8475728/Millions-of-internet-users-hit-by-massive-Sony-PlayStation-data-theft.html| title=Millions of internet users hit by massive Sony PlayStation data theft| date=2011-04-26| publisher=Telegraph Media Group Limited| accessdate=2011-04-26}}</ref> The British [[Information Commissioner's Office]] confirmed Sony will be questioned<ref>{{Cite news |title=PlayStation hack: Sony faces watchdog's questions |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/sony/8476441/PlayStation-hack-Sony-faces-watchdogs-questions.html |publisher=telegraph.co.uk |date=27 April 2011 |accessdate=27 April 2011}}</ref> and an investigation will take place to discover if Sony had taken adequate precautions to protect customer details.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-04-27-ico-confirms-it-will-quiz-sony-over-psn |title=ICO confirms it will quiz Sony over PSN |author=Wesley Yin-Poole |publisher=[[Eurogamer]] |date=2011-04-27 |accessdate=2011-04-27}}</ref> The [[Privacy Commissioner of Canada]], [[Jennifer Stoddart]] confirmed that the Canadian authorities would investigate the incident, and the Commissioner's office conveyed their concern as to why the authorities in Canada weren't informed of a security breach earlier.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Privacy Commissioner's office to investigate Sony PlayStation hack |url=http://www.canada.com/life/Privacy+Commissioner+office+investigate+Sony+PlayStation+hack/4684627/story.html#ixzz1KlAZpsAq |publisher=Vancouver Sun |date=27 April 2011 |accessdate=27 April 2011}}</ref>

===Legal action against Sony===
A lawsuit was posted on 27 April 2011, by Kristopher Johns from [[Birmingham, Alabama]] on behalf of all PlayStation users alleging Sony "failed to encrypt data and establish adequate firewalls to handle a server intrusion contingency, failed to provide prompt and adequate warnings of security breaches, and unreasonably delayed in bringing the PSN service back on line.".<ref>{{cite web|last=Ogg |first=Erica |url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-31021_3-20057921-260.html |title=Sony sued for PlayStation Network data breach | Circuit Breaker - CNET News |publisher=News.cnet.com |date=2011-03-24 |accessdate=2011-04-28}}</ref> According to the complaint filed in the lawsuit, Sony has failed to notify members of a possible security breach and storing member's credit card information,<ref>{{cite web|last=Schwartz |first=Mathew J. |url=http://www.informationweek.com/news/security/attacks/229402362 |title=Sony Sued Over PlayStation Network Hack |publisher=InformationWeek |date= |accessdate=2011-04-28}}</ref> a violation of [[PCI Compliance]] - the digital security standard for the Payment Card Industry.
