Sony's back: But the Playstation network is shaky & hackers still unpunished

Playstation online faced a wave of traffic today as it finally got back online. Hundreds of thousands of Playstation users logged on this morning as the service got back online just under a month after it was taken off after a hack on 17th April.

The numbers of people trying to get back in resulted in a sticky restart with slow service and a hiccup where it was taken offline again briefly. All users have been asked to reset their passwords.

The culprits still remain to be caught. See our coverage of Who’s Behind the Hack:
