Yesterday Nyleveia revealed a new vulnerability in Sony PSN password reset page. The hack involves PSN web-based password reset page, where it’s said anyone can change someone else’s password using their PSN account email and date of birth (details possibly collected by hackers in April breach). Eurogamer’s also claiming to have seen actual video footage of PSN password exploit/hack in action.

Whatever the case maybe when I tried to login through PSN site –> following maintenance page is displayed

 

Sony started phased relaunch of PlayStation Network last week with updated software , customer appreciation program (free games) and promise of higher standards for security.

Sony also confirmed the hack or to be precise the “URL exploit”  and has taken the PSN login and password reset page down for maintenance. Even though Sony says PSN login page is down for maintenance  to improve the password reset process. Nyleveia says “system went down approximately 15 minutes after I received a response from SCEE [Sony Computer Entertainment Europe] on the matter.”
