The official U.S. PlayStation blog, previously disrupted in April by a DDoS attack carried out by Anonymous members before a larger and more sophisticated assault (for which the group has since denied credit) effectively brought down Sony’s entire online infrastructure, suffered spotty service in Japan this week.
Today Sony disproved a report which alleged a cyber attack had rendered the site unavailable for non-U.S. residents. Bloomberg said hackers had played a part in the site’s outage. Sony spokesperson Dan Race dismissed the report as inaccurate, however, and disclosed the more pedestrian cause for the service issues to Reuters.
“Media reports claiming that the U.S. PlayStation.com site and blog were partially disrupted because of hackers are false,” Race said. “We installed a new security measure that has temporarily made the sites inaccessible to select regions outside of the U.S.”
