I'm not sure how credible this is, and even the author says it may not be what happened, but it seems that the exploit itself was not what brought the network down and there are rumors that Sony is having to rebuild the network from the ground up to fix and resolve what happened.

That seems to be possible. It makes sense and flows with the rest of the story.

Either way, information has been leaked to someone(s) out there and the PSN will be down for atleast 2 weeks in total, if not more.

All I can say is that if I ever buy a game console, I now have even more reason to go with an xbox 360 instead.

I'm moving away from consoles altogether right now. Might sell the PS3 and build a new gaming desktop instead. Nothing beats having a purdy desktop humming beside a nice little server by your feet :)

They are saying it may start coming up tomorrow. Not like people are really eager to jump back onto a network that is obviously not so secure.

Ya..

I wouldn't be surprised to see a massive drop in player count and activity. I am sure it will take them months if not years to fully recover depending on how forgiving the community is and if any information was stolen and used.

I'm just waiting on my credit card bill to come in so I can see. Hopefully I didn't get attacked. I'm still not eager to jump back on, that's for sure. I'm thinking of getting rid of all consoles and going full PC. Build a new gaming rig instead :D .

Forgot to mention they are planning on a few things to compensate, however no compensation can make us forget that someone may or may not have our credit cards. :x

Well the real kick of it is that they admitted to having a minor intrusions about two weeks prior. The guy probably planted something then, which made the real attack that much easier. Neither should have really happened.
