Sony was targeted by an attack to their infrastructure. Apparently, large parts of their internal network was infiltrated.
According to This story

the threat is enough that Sony has shut down its electronics on a global scale as the company investigates the breach. An unnamed source spoke to Deadline and said, “We are down, completely paralyzed.” [...]
Another unnamed source [...] went on to say that [...] the situation will take anywhere from one day to three weeks to be resolved.

I have a feeling computer security is a very lucrative business to work in for the foreseeable future...
