Gamers have had to deal with no PSN over this Easter break and the network is still down after a total of six days.

Sony’s latest official company update on the outage remains its clarification that the network is having to be “rebuilt” in light of an outside attack, which was posted two days ago (April 23) on the official PlayStation Blog in the US.

Since then a rep has said:

“We will announce through our websites as soon as there are any updates. We are currently investigating to determine the cause of this outage and are working to restore and maintain the services. Since this is an overall security related issue, we will not be providing further commentary for this case.”

The service went down in the early hours of Thursday morning, the same day as Portal 2 was released for the PS3.

Anti-Sony hacking group Anonymous has denied responsibility for the attack, but has not ruled out the possibility that one of its members could have acted individually.
