After the interruption of PSN that occurred during the weekend, Sony took a step forward and explained what happened exactly to cause such an event to occur. In addition, the company has provided five days of PlayStation Plus (BASIC) for its users.
On Twitter, the ASK PlayStation account published the following statement, “Network services have recovered completely from an operational problem. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank the community for their patience. All members of PlayStation Plus will automatically receive 5 days 5 days additional service ”

Now, an “operational problem” is vague, of course. We still do not know the exact nature of the interruption, or what caused it. This whole event has led a part of online users urging others to change their passwords, following a massive interruption in 2011 in which user information was easily available for nefarious parties. Now, there is no evidence that such an event has happened here from writing, but it is clear that the ghost of the Hack of the PS3 era still chases the company a bit.
Therefore, even if password information has not been leaked, why not give an update of the Ol ‘passwords anyway? Especially if time has passed, maybe this is just the push that we all need to improve our security game.
This PSN interruption came in an unfortunate moment. Starting during the weekend, at a time when many users wake up in Asia or leave work in the United States. Those additional five days are pleasant, but people, of course, feel annoying independently. Anyway, everything is fine as a writing, so he should be able to obtain his games without worry.
