Sony PlayStation Network has not been hacked, according to a new statement made by the company in a blog post. Sony spokesperson Patrick Seybold says that the PlayStation Network wasn’t hacked so much as threatened yesterday when a password exploit accessible through its PSN web page login page came to light.

“We temporarily took down the PSN and Qriocity password reset page,” wrote Seybold, quickly adding “Contrary to some reports, there was no hack involved.”

The “exploit” involved the PSN web-based password reset page, where whistleblower Nyleveia claimed anyone could change someone else’s password using their PSN account email and date of birth—both details possibly (though not confirmedly) obtained by hackers in the original mid-April PSN breach.

Seybold seemed to confirm this as well: “In the process of resetting of passwords there was a URL exploit that we have subsequently fixed.”

“Consumers who haven’t reset their passwords for PSN are still encouraged to do so directly on their PS3,” said Seybold. “Otherwise, they can continue to do so via the website as soon as we bring that site back up."
