15 years ago today, the PlayStation Network went offline and didn’t come back for over 3 weeks
Fifteen years ago today, on April 20, 2011, Sony's PlayStation Network (PSN) was taken offline due to a significant data breach affecting over 77 million accounts. The outage lasted for 24 days, preventing online play for games like Mortal Kombat 9 and Call of Duty. Sony eventually offered compensation, including free games and PlayStation Plus subscriptions, and later stated there was no confirmed misuse of compromised personal or financial information.
