Tokyo - Sony says it aims to fully restore its PlayStation Network, shut down after a massive security breach, by the end of May.

Satoshi Fukuoka, a spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment, said on Tuesday a probe into a recent hacker attack on the network is ongoing. He declined to give details.

Sony shut down the network, a system that links gamers worldwide in live play, on April 20 after discovering the security breach. Sony said the network intrusion has compromised personal data from over 100 million online accounts. - Sapa-AP
