The Japanese group said on Sunday it had repaired the online service for its PS4 console PlayStation Network and its network was attacked by hackers on Christmas Day.
It was probably the three longest days of Sony’s history and the most frightening for addicts to the PlayStation. And it is perhaps not finished yet, because the return is gradual. The Japanese group nevertheless said Sunday that he had finally repaired the online service for its PS4 console PlayStation Network and its network attacked by hackers on Christmas Day, just like Microsoft XBox. If Microsoft had arrived the next day to repair its online service, restoration took longer to Sony. The restarting has been gradual, starting with the PS3 and PS Vita.
The attacks were claimed by hackers “grouped” under the name of the team lizard “Lizard squad.” They succeeded in blocking servers with numerous requests. According to a Japanese analyst interviewed by Bloomberg, one question remains: “It is not clear if this is just a cut of the PlayStation network, or if the personal data of customers were also stolen.”
The attack took place on the same day the group had distributed the film The Interview not only online but also in independent cinemas. Large distribution networks had decided not to schedule this fiction evoking the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The case had also taken the turn of a state case, when US President Obama had accused the North Koreans who provided for their part do not know these pirates … The programming of film in 300 different cinemas has instead been a good deal: the only day of Christmas, this film grossed $ 1 million
