PlayStation Network and Qriocity online services remain shut as of today, Shigenori Yoshida, a Tokyo-based spokesman said. Sony is uncertain when it can resume the services, Yoshida said by phone to Bloomberg today
The company is in the process of adopting an improved security system and its plan to restart the services fully by May 31 is unchanged, he said. The shut down occurred since April 20 because of external intrusion and personal data hacking.
Originally, Sony had planned to restart partial operations within a week after boosting the level of security system, the company said May 1. Unfortunately, the restart has been stalled up to now, and there are no signs that it's coming back soon.
The target is the full restoration of service by May 31, not some first or partial operations restart. For me, if the waiting means more security and more quirks of the "Welcome Back" program, it's well worth the wait!
