This complete occasion has led to a portion of customers on-line urging others to vary their passwords, following an enormous outage again in 2011 wherein person data was simply accessible to nefarious events. Now, there isn’t any proof that such an occasion has occurred right here as of writing, but it surely’s clear the ghost of the PS3-era hack nonetheless haunts the corporate considerably.
For what it is price, even when no password data has been leaked on the market, why not give the ol’ passwords a refresh anyway? Particularly if it has been some time, perhaps that is simply the nudge all of us wanted to up our safety recreation considerably.
This PSN outage got here at an unlucky time. Kicking off over the weekend, at a time when many customers waking up in Asia or getting off work in America. These additional 5 days are good, however of us are after all feeling aggravated regardless. Both means, all is nicely as of writing, so you need to be capable to get your video games in with out concern.
