Just wanted to updated, if by one chance it hasn´t been leaked, because i haven´t read all the thread:
The PSN should be back online on Monday all over the world and the attacks were provoke by hackers who did retrieve personal information of an unnumbered users all over the world but CC numbers were not reached and passwords securities for the admins of the PSN had been compromised, so they are restoring all of the network.
That is what my source told me, so if anything new happens i will try to update here, at the same time please take it with a grain of salt/not confirmed because my source isn´t in a high position within SCEA but he has gave me some accurate information in the past.
Edit: Another thing i don´t think SONY will go public with the personal information being retrieve by hackers.

Sigh, good thing I picked up ff4 before all this, but its annoying. Been dying to do some Crysis2 MP, finally beat it. Great game, but I wants the multi!
Gotta admit, this is starting to get in the realms of annoyance, I can understand it taking a day or two, but this is kinda ridiculous.

Yeah, that was one of the thing my source told me because SONY is trying to minimize the damage and the bad PR and to try for the authorities to have a upper hand.

PSN+ is worth it
The shit PSN+ has offered and given is amazing
If you add it all up its close to $550 worth of content, yes its "rental" for the games, but some games are free out right
I mean Stacking is a $15 game, you get it to keep forever as a PSN+ member, a lot of PSN+ members had problem downloading Sam & Max The Devil's Playhouse, so Sony sent them the game through the PSN mail w/ attachment that gives them the $35 package to keep forever, that right there is $50. Everything else is icing on the cake
{Hell if you resigned/signed during that Red Faction Tank game giveaway = $10 and game = yours}

So... a little off topic :
What does moving all your data, trophies, accounts and such over to a new ps3 from your old one entail? I figured a 4 gig thumb drive for my saved games would be good enough for all that... and then once i can actually login to the PSN with my account i figured most everything else would kind of fall into place...
Am I woefully incorrect here?

Grab an Ethernet cable, plug it into the back of both PS3's, there's an option that carries everything from old PS3 to new PS3, even LOCKED SAVES!!!!!!!

I predict Sunday, too! I just attended Easter Vigil mass. Thinking that the service would restore PSN, I come home, attempt to log in, and *swoop* no dice.
Tomorrow, will be the day of reckoning!

I think I may have misunderstood. I though you were talking about information about the hackers, not what user data might have been compromised.Tron 2.0 said:

- Personal information: Name, Last Name, Address, Email, zip code, country.
- Passwords of the users of PSN: he didn´t confirm this even though i ask him a lot.
- Credit Cards Numbers: He confirm that the numbers were not compromised because the numbers are stored/protected/encrypted in a different way that the personal data (that is what he told me, he and I don´t know shit about computer programming so sorry for not giving specified details here).
- Users Log History was retrieve (don´t know what that is).
That is all he gave me, well summarized at least.

They can delay notifying users that their personal information has been compromised, but only if law enforcement thinks it will impede investigation.arnoldocastillo2003 said:
They're legally obligated in most states to inform consumers if their personal data has been accessed by unauthorized agents.

First of all, thank you, arnoldocastillo2003 for this information. None of us would have known this otherwise. Even as a junior member, I'm glad I'm a part of this community.
So my hopes for getting it up on Easter Sunday have been squandered... But, I still have faith!

Yeah i know the law, but suposedly SONY will try not to go public with this because it has already taken legal actions, so what my source told me is that until the correct authorities tell them to go public they will, so who knows what will happen.
