Exactly the sort of information that was released in the original hack.

Sony has taken the password reset system offline. Kotaku has reached out to Sony for comment.

According to Sony nothing was hacked...They discovered the security issue.

I think thats some spin right there, personally I would place exploit's and hacks in the same pile.

Im surprised to hear they resolved it so quickly though, I was afraid it was going to go
dark on PSN again

I was expecting this because hackers are too stupid to leave anything alone. Sony has a trigger button sitting there right now tracking down any and all suspicious activity. I hope they do exploit it, makes it easier to find the idiots.

This though was simply an error on the website portion so they shut those down, NOT PSN.
