Attackers knock PlayStation Network offline for hours

Many gamers couldn’t access Sony’s PlayStation Network (PSN) for hours on Sunday evening after an apparent attack against the service. The PlayStation Store was also reportedly affected.

Sony Computer Entertainment America acknowledged the service disruption, saying via its official PlayStation account on Twitter that “we are aware of the issues some users are experiencing, and are working to address them.”

Several hours later the company posted a new message advising users who had difficulties signing in to try again, suggesting the service had been restored.

Some users also reported trouble accessing the PlayStation Store and receiving an error that read: “Page not found. It’s not you. It’s the internet’s fault.”
