Playstation Network Security Penetrated? PSN Shut Down for a Day

Sony has been having some problems of late with network security it seems. First the hacking group Anonymous pointed them out for an attack and then all manner of Playstation Network outages occurred, possibly from the DDOS attacks.

Now this week it seems that more serious intrusions have occurred as they shut down all of the PSN and Qriocity for a night:

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.

Oddly, there are still outages today which means that the intrusion was far more serious than Sony is letting on. It might be wise to change your passwords as soon as it comes back up and is announced stable.
