Sony's black bar continues, new flash hacking

Sony did not have time to recover the PlayStation Network and recover from the hacking, as the hackers did not miss the opportunity to again beat the nerves of the Sony leadership, using the unsuccessfully prepared password change system. The company invited users to change their passwords after a global hack, but offered to do so extremely “original” - all that is required to reset passwords is an email address and date of birth. These data were stolen by hackers during the last hacking. As soon as this “recovery” opportunity appeared, a wave of unauthorized discharges began, after which the PSN servers either fell back from the pressure of users, or were damaged by another attack, or, according to Sony, were turned off to avoid a new wave of hacks user accounts. At the moment, authorization through the site does not work, whereas it passes through the console.

UPD : In the meantime, Sony denies the rumors of hacking that are circulating, convincing that it’s still preventive work that fixes vulnerabilities.
