Yeah, given the severity of what happened to PSN if they find any evidence of the same thing going on in these systems I would not expect to see them up anytime soon. This is potentially days or more depending how how bad the security issue is.

They're already going to be facing some kind of class-action suit over the PSN breach (I've already heard anecdotal evidence of a significant # of folks having fradulent use of their credit cards recently), the last thing they want is to play things loose and be seen as not taking all appropriate measures for security.

I already put a fraud alert on my credit over this and it's probably a smart idea for anyone else that uses PSN or (even now) any SOE product to do so. It doesn't cost anything, all you have to do is fill out a form on any one of the three major credit agencies.
