The
PlayStation
Network
went
down
for
around
20
hours
over
the
weekend,
leaving
all
of
us
facing
the
horror
that
is
real
life.
Have
you
seen
it
out
there?
It’s
mental.
The
good
news
is
that
the
network
is
back
up
and
running,
as

indicated
by
the
official
status
site,
although
there
are
still
some
people
claiming
to
be
having
issues
logging
on,
playing
games
or
using
the
store.

PlayStation
itself
remained
quiet
as
the
network
crashed,
with
only
a
few
support
accounts
acknowledging
the
problem.
Now,
though,

Sony
has
announced
that
people
will
be
getting
some
compensation
for
the
event.

Network
services
have
fully
recovered
from
an
operational
issue.
We
apologize
for
the
inconvenience
and
thank
the
community
for
their
patience.
All
PlayStation
Plus
members
will
automatically
receive
an
additional
5
days
of
service.

Every
PS
Plus
member
will
get
five
free
days
of
PlayStation
Plus,
said
the
AskPlayStation
X
account,
who
also
apologised
for
the
inconvenience.
The
extra
days
will
be
automatically
credited
to
your
account.

Still,
we
are
left
with
some
questions,
such
as
what
the
actual
cause
of
the
outage
was.
While
this
might
not
seem
important,
people
are
concerned
that
the
cause
was
some
sort
of
hacking
event
or
other
intrusion
that
could
have
led
to
personal
data
being
compromised.
These
are
valid
concerns
in
today’s
world
where
companies
hold
a
lot
of
sensitive
data.
