On May 12 (Thu.), new information came from Sony Computer Entertainment Japan (SCEJ) about continuous login trouble and other troubles over their PlayStation Network and Qriocity.

They said that the server targeted as a victim of cyber-terrorism has been relocated to securer one; now the encipher system is being strengthened and more firewalls are being installed.

In addition, assuming that a cyber-attack happens again, their system seems to be strengthening firmly; for example, they have set up intruder alert system, installed monitoring software and upgraded vulnerability scanner software.

They said that inspection of each system is being carried out now for early reopen of the service. Probably it takes some more time.
