It’s been over two weeks since PlayStation 3 owners have been able to access the PlayStation Network due to an infamous security breach, but Sony is now inching closer towards restoring at least some online services.
The company is now finishing up work on "internal testing" of the new PSN system.
Patrick Seybold, senior director of Corporate Communications & Social Media at Sony, posted the following message earlier today:
"Today our global network and security teams at Sony Network Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment began the final stages of internal testing of the new system, an important step towards restoring PlayStation Network and Qriocity services.
"As previously mentioned, we’ve been working around the clock to rebuild the network and enhance protections of your personal data. It’s our top priority to ensure your data is safe when you begin using the services again.
"We understand that many of you are eager to again enjoy the PlayStation Network and Qriocity entertainment services that you love, so we wanted you to be aware of this milestone and our progress. We will provide additional updates as soon as we can."
Last weekend Sony Executive Deputy President Kazuo Hirai indicated that PSN would go live by the end of this week. It looks like Sony is one step closer to making that come true.
