This is the second time PSN has experienced issues this weekend. The last time this happened, it was apparently the work of a hacker group, although there is no info yet on the downtime cause this time around.

Let us know if you are experiencing any issues with PSN on your PS3 and PS4 in the comments below.



Update: As of 9:44 a.m. Pacific / 12:44 p.m. Eastern, Sony is reporting all services up and running. Previous problems with sign-in and account management have been rectified.

It's because they want to get their name out and tell the whole world that they have these amazing hacking skills but really, and the media and everyone giving them attention keeps feeding the fire.
