Image via WikipediaIt has been the fourth day today, that the both the services of Sony's PlayStation Network and Qriocity service remain non-operational. The users have all their hands on as they continue to wait even after the company’s official announcement of Sunday, stating that Sony is "rebuilding" its entire system, which will be better guarded against such attacks.
Previously on Saturday the company had announced that this non-functioning of the services is due to the "external intrusion" into its network. However, any understandably explanation of the problem was not disclosed, as the cause remains ambiguous.
The PlayStation Network is always used by the online players of the well-famous gaming console of Sony, PlayStation 3, along with the sales of additional software to the console and the PlayStation Portable (PSP), another handy console of the company. Whereas Qriocity service also runs on the exact same infrastructure of the network, as it used to provide both the audio and video transmission to all Sony consumer electronics products.
The latest information received from the company and its efforts to resolve the issue, even though not explaining the nature of intrusion yet, indicated that it is extremely sophisticated one. The official press release said that "Our efforts to resolve this matter involve rebuilding our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure," and adding furthermore, the added the announcement saying that "Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security."
Upon inquiry of how soon can the anxious users get their hands back on the online gaming, it was answered that engineers are "working around the clock to bring them both back online," however, they successfully dodged and did not respond to any time period. Summing up the statements, the officials cordially informed that "We thank you for your patience to date and ask for a little more while we move towards completion of this project." The non-functioning of the network has led the frustrated owners of PlayStation 3 to not being able to play online games since three days till now.
