Sony’s PlayStation Network service in the United States and Europe is partially restored, after being shut nearly a month ago due to a massive security breach affecting over 100 million online accounts.
Operations are currently limited to online gaming, chat, and music streaming services. Sony told the Associated Press it plans on fully restoring the network by the end of May.
A phased restoration of its Qriocity movie and music services which shares PlayStation Network’s server also began Sunday according to Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. spokesman Satoshi Fukuoka.
Limited services will also resume in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the Middle East, and Sony plans on restoring service in Asia as well.
The popular PlayStation Network links users worldwide in live play. The system was shut down on April 20 after a hacker attack was discovered. Personal data, including credit card numbers, was at stake, but Sony said Sunday it had not received any reports of illegal fraudulent activity.
