PlayStation Network web-based sign-in back online

Following reports of an exploit in the web-based sign-in function for the PlayStation Network, Sony temporarily pulled the plug while they worked on the fix. However, the service has now resumed and you can login using your browser as normal.

The exploit involved some URL trickery that allowed mischievous (or otherwise) people to reset a PSN account password with only a user’s date of birth and email address.

Sony has now resolved this issue, which comes amidst their recovery from one of the biggest network security hacks of all time.
