SOE Downtime - May 2, 2011

[Cairenn]

All Sony Online Entertainment services, games, forums and web sites are currently offline. This downtime relates to the recent Playstation Network intrusion. No ETA is available at this time. Here is the notice from Station.com:

Dear valued SOE Customers,

We have had to take the SOE service down temporarily. In the course of our investigation into the intrusion into our systems we have discovered an issue that warrants enough concern for us to take the service down effective immediately. We will provide an update later today (Monday).

Please read the information they have just posted located at http://www.soe.com/securityupdate/

In the meantime, feel free to join the ZAM's IRC chat. If you do not have an IRC program installed, you can use the Java Applet version that Feldon of EQ2Wire has set up. See you there!


What does this mean to you?

As soon as you are able to login to SOE"s website, please go to your account and change your password immediately.

You do not have to change or cancel your credit card's at this time. You only will need to do so IF you get an email from Sony stating you need to change that information.

Please be careful about any suspicious emails claiming they are from Sony, or click on any links within the email. Go directly to the website via your web browser manually instead.
