2. UPDATE: Sony’s PlayStation Network, plagued by problems for days, is being shut down indefinitely, according to the Wall Street Journal.
PlayStation tweeted a link to a blog post updating users on the situation.
“I know you are waiting for additional information on when PlayStation Network and Qriocity services will be online. Unfortunately, I don’t have an update or timeframe to share at this point in time,” wrote Patrick Seybold, Sony’s senioer director of corporate communications and social media. “As we previously noted, this is a time intensive process and we’re working to get them back online quickly. We’ll keep you updated with information as it becomes available. We once again thank you for your patience.”
The Journal offers more insight, adding, “the Japanese electronics giant said it is keeping its PlayStation Network videogame service offline indefinitely following a hacking attack it now says may have compromised user’s information”
Seybold had said in a blog post on April 21 that it could be ” a full day or two” before the service was up and running again. Nearly a week later and the network is still inaccessible.
Sony shut down its network following an “external intrusion” that may have put users’ personal information at risk.
3.UPDATE: APRIL 26,2011
The ‘REBUG” CFW is a mod to a proxy server, allowing users to simulate turning their PS3 into debug units used by Sony developers.
Using those mods, hackers can enter any credit card number they want and download games and other content for free from the PSN. Sony does not check the authenticity of the cards because it is assumed their own developers are not stealing content

When will the PSN be back online?
Sony has confirmed that their network should be partially restored by May 3, 2011. The PlayStation Network blog uses the term “some services” to describe their uptime goal of May 3, 2011, however no detail has been provided as to what that means to you and me.
