Sony Offers Extension To Members
- Mashable, Friday, January 2, 2015 9 AM
Sony is offering its PlayStation owners a five-day membership extension after the company's network was taken down on Christmas Day by an external attack. Owners — many of them new after receiving the console for Christmas — were unable to connect to the network due to a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on the Sony system. The attack bombarded the network with huge amounts of traffic, stopping playstation owners connecting to it.
