So the big news today is that the PSN is FINALLY back online. It’s been down since April 20^th due to the massive hack someone pulled off. I am still in a bit of awe how a network like the PSN could fall victim to such a brutal attack. It’s hard for me to wrap my brain around the fact that a relatively small group of individuals was able to bring a vast network built by a multi-billion dollar company to its knees. Of course, a ton of people were up in arms over the reported possible credit card theft; as they should be. Hopefully some good can come out of this attack for Sony and other companies, as I’m sure it opened eyes around the tech world that something like this IS possible. Sony knows it now must be absolutely sure that the network is, and will continue to be secure to earn back the trust of its users. Certainly there have been a few who will ditch the PS3 due to this, but I’m not sure that it will be a large enough number to really hurt Sony in the long run. But that’s enough about that. Bottom line, the network is back up, and your trophies can be synced. *Whew*

Until next time,

-SS.
