SOE safe after PSN breach

Sony Online Entertainment has assured its customers that personal data is safe following the PSN hacking scandal.

"We have been conducting a thorough investigation and, to the best of our knowledge, no customer personal information got out to any unauthorised person or persons," the company stated on the DC Universe forum.

"We are continuing that investigation and monitoring the situation carefully; should the situation change, we will of course promptly notify you."

There was, however, an apology for the fact that PS3 owners remain unable to play either DC Universe Online or Free Realms.

"We apologise for any inconvenience players may have experienced as a result of the recent service interruption," the studio added. "To thank players for their patience, and we will be hosting special events this weekend across our game portfolio, including a Double Station Cash day on Saturday, April 30th.

"We are also working on a ‘make good’ plan for players of the PS3 versions of DC Universe Online and Free Realms."
