So, anyone trying to do anything on PSN lately will have noticed that the system is down. Sony has reported that this is due to an external intrusion, and that they are working to bring things back up.

Small comfort, since it really sucks that the system is down one of the few times I actually decide to use it, but hey, what can you do?

I just find myself wondering who bothered hacking PSN, and what they hoped to accomplish, besides shutting the network down worldwide.
