PlayStation Network Breakdown. Impact?

PlayStation Network Breakdown. Impact?
	We've got submission. "I love your conversation. Seems PlayStation Network had a breakdown from April 21 noon. I thought it was my PS3 or modem's problem, but I heard it was cyberattack. Did Sony compromise with hacker in the past?" (submission) "PSN stops for a long time. Any impact on SCE's future?" (submission) "Can't access Playstation Network from 4/21. Seems the hacker group Anonymous in England launched an attack. Is that real?" (submitted by Arasaa)
	Still not recovered on April 25. Here is an announcement on April 24 . "PlayStation Network has a system trouble for a long time. We apologize for that. Our staff is working 24 hours to recover the system, but the process to strengthen network infrastructure needs time. This is necessary in order to improve the system security. Hope you customers and companies would understand. Information about this incident would be announced here." (PlayStation Official Site)
	Long trouble huh.
	According to SCE's comment, they need more time, but strengthening system security is not easy, they need lots of try and error.
	How about the hacker?
	Such emergency should be result from outside, so hacker's attack is possible. Weセdon't know the truth though. Well, if they can improve their security that would be good for SCE's future.
	I see.
	How about the economic influence?
	Download sales terminated. If the situation continue, users may leave. Customer may go to court against SCE for can't accessing the network. This induces cost. Anyway, security is more important, better check thoroughly.
	So we can think positively.
	But such unified system would make all service stop if it has trouble. Better not to concentrate at SCE, but allow us to access other makers' service. That would be a better system. This time the total collapse is partly due to SCE's arrogance.
	Other makers should learn a lesson to tackle such problem huh.
	As user, we better wait patiently for a safer service.
