Sony CEO Howard Stringer has apologized for the PlayStation attack and promised service will be up and running again soon.
Stringer’s apology was one of several updates Sony has posted recently in its PlayStation blog.
Here is part of Stringer’s post:

To date, there is no confirmed evidence any credit card or personal information has been misused, and we continue to monitor the situation closely. We are also moving ahead with plans to help protect our customers from identity theft around the world. A program for U.S. PlayStation Network and Qriocity customers that includes a $1 million identity theft insurance policy per user was launched earlier today and announcements for other regions will be coming soon.
In mid April, Sony’s PlayStation Network and Qriocity, its media streaming service, were shut down after a hacker attack.
The Japanese company later admitted that its Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) division, previously thought to be untouched by the hack that shuttered its PlayStation Network, had also been compromised.
Sony said it believes hackers stole personal information from about 25 million users and that the credit card information for some non-U.S. customers may have been taken
The Stringer letter was reported by The New York Times.
