Sony Corp. will keep some online entertainment services closed longer than it had planned to make sure its systems don’t fall prey to more hacker attacks, a spokesman said today.

The maker of PlayStation Game consoles is still enhancing security on its PS Network, Qriocity and Sony Online Entertainment services, Shigenori Yoshida, a Tokyo-based spokesman, said by phone. Sony shut down PS Network and Qriocity on April 20, and had planned to bring them back online May 8.
