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.”

Ed Skoudis, a senior security consultant for InGuardians, and Johannes Ullrich, the CTO of the SANS Internet Storm Center, say hackers continue to penetrate many more company networks than administrators admit. They offer a list of the most effective exploits used to gain entry.
