Massively reported this morning that all Station Services are down today due to a security issue that was found. The following notice is posted on Station.com
We have had to take the SOE service down temporarily. In the course of our investigation into the intrusion into our systems we have discovered an issue that warrants enough concern for us to take the service down effective immediately. We will provide an update later today (Monday).
Update as of 17:28 CDT
Our ongoing investigation of illegal intrusions into Sony Online Entertainment systems has discovered that hackers may have obtained personal customer information from SOE systems. We are today advising you that the personal information you provided us in connection with your SOE account may have been stolen in a cyber-attack. Stolen information includes, to the extent you provided it to us, the following: name, address (city, state, zip, country), email address, gender, birthdate, phone number, login name and hashed password.
SOE has provided another update via stating that it does appears some personal information was stolen. More information is available on SOE's security update page.

Re: SOE Services Offline If this is down through the end of the month (which wouldn't be surprising if their security was as bad as it appears) then don't expect updates that often. Once a week would be about right. |

Re: SOE Services Offline Yup, Station Account holders include PlanetSide players. My roommate, who had an inactive account, shows 45 free days on his account now. |
