Sony Corp. apologized for the breach of its PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, and said it aims to resume the online gaming center by the end of the month after upgrading security.
Partial resumption of the services will likely occur in a week, Kazuo Hirai, Sony’s executive deputy president in charge of consumer products and network services, said in his first comments since the facility was shut down April 20. Hirai and two other officials bowed in apology at a press conference yesterday, and said the company can’t rule out credit card numbers and expiry dates having been stolen.
