Sony pulled plug to stop piracy � report.
The current PlayStation Network outage started when Sony pulled the plug on the service to thwart hackers who had found a way to steal content using faked credit card numbers, according to a new report.
As detailed on VentureBeat, a poster on Reddit.com called chesh420 has claimed that PSN went down shortly after new custom firmware hit the web.
Called Rebug.me, the mod let users access a developer network where they could enter a fake credit card number and download content at their leisure.
