Sony's digital download and online gaming service, PlayStation
Network, is finally going to go live on a global scale after hackers
brought it to its knees just over two months ago.

In April it emerged that close to 77 million people who used the
PlayStation Network had become victims of data theft after
cybercriminals broke into the service and took private information.

...

It took over a month for the PlayStation Store and PlayStation online
functionality to be restored in the UK and Europe, but in Sony's
native Japan there were further delays caused by the government
insisting that Sony should prove its ability to provide safe shopping
online and adequate data protection measures.
