Sony's black bar continues, new hacking flash

Sony did not have time to restore the PlayStation Network and recoverfrom hacking, as hackers did not miss the opportunity to again nerve the nerves of the leadership of Sony, using the poorly prepared system for changing passwords. The company suggested users to change their passwords after a global hack, but offered to do it in an extremely “original” way - only an email address and date of birth are required to reset passwords. These data were taken away by hackers during the last hack. As soon as this “recovery” opportunity appeared, a wave of unauthorized discharges began, after which the PSN servers either again went away from the pressure of users, or were disabled by another attack, or, according to Sony, were turned off to avoid a new wave of hacks user accounts. At the moment, authorization through the site does not work, while through the console passes.
UPD: In the meantime, Sony has denied circulating rumors of hacking, convincing that it is still preventative work that fixes vulnerabilities.
