As you may have noticed, the PlayStation Network has been down for several days following an "external intrusion" on Sony Servers.
Hacker(s) managed to break into the Sony Servers after Sony released a re-bug for the system.
Sony states that Hackers may have obtained users' names, home addresses, email addresses, birthdates, PlayStation Network usernames and passwords, and answers to password security questions, according to the blog post.
There was no evidence that credit card information had been compromised, but Sony said it "cannot rule out the possibility" that hackers could access such information.

Sony does not give a definite time of when the Network will be accessible again but some speculate it could be as late as next week.
