the following message is the latest information from 4th may 2011...


I would like to inform everyone with some BREAKING NEWS! On reading the PlayStation.blog most recent post, I have discovered that Sony have said that on the highly planned cyber-attack, within the Sony online entertainment servers, a file was planted under the named 'ANONYMOUS', within the file, there are words saying 'We are Legion. This means that even though this group of hackers said they weren't involved, I have learned that it was most likely a 'lone wolf' from Anonymous, not acting within the group and without the groups knowledge of doing so. There is also speculation about when Sony do bring back online the psn server, word has it that on the 4th May 2011 at 10pm GMT, the servers will begin to come back online. An associated website, who works with Sony has briefly explained how the server will possibly come back online. This may be in annoyance to you, but it saves the server from crashing. The source have said the networks users will be allowed back online in Alphabetical order, every 3 hours a new starting letter of psn users will be allowed to access online. (Beginning with either the number 0 or the letter A). The final users will possibly be able to access their accounts online 108 hours in advance (not 100% sure) to when the psn comes back online. Please be aware that this information may not strictly be true to the word, as I'm sure Sony regularly change their ways on how it will be brought back online. The answer to the skilled organisation that hacked Sony's psn is ANONYMOUS, and so it is unlikely to say that, knowing Anonymous' ways, they will use your credit card details or account details in any fraud plot. - they aim to get better rights for people like us. Quoting "we are anonymous, we are legion, we do not forgive, we do not forget. Expect us."
