There has been maintenance now for three days, consecutively, getting this error: 80710A06 without any kind of update or timeline when it's going to be back up. A couple Sony employees have released statements:
"As you are no doubt aware, the current emergency outage is continuing this afternoon and all Sony Online Network services remain unavailable. Our support teams are investigating the cause of the problem, including the possibility of targeted behaviour by an outside party. If the reported Network problems are indeed caused by such acts, we would like to once again thank our customers who have borne the brunt of the attack through interrupted service."
Eventually, that error stopped popping up and we got to see:
"PlayStation Network is currently undergoing maintenance."
Then they released,
"An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. In order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network & Qriocity services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th. Providing quality entertainment services to our customers and partners is our utmost priority. We are doing all we can to resolve this situation quickly, and we once again thank you for your patience. We will continue to update you promptly as we have additional information to share."
They're making Blizzard look on the ball and quick to fix their servers. This is a bit ridiculous.
