Sony Online Entertainment–the Sony group responsible for multiplayer games such as DC Universe Online–is down at the moment. The explanatory message at its site is vague: it refers to “the intrusion into our systems.” I’m not sure if that’s the PlayStation Network breach or another one. But Bloomberg’s Cliff Edwards, among others, is reporting that this involves a second Sony security breach. And Nikkei is apparently saying that credit card numbers have gone missing this time.
