Sony launched the PSN, after nearly a one-month absence, in Europe, Australia and North America over the last two days.
Says Kazushige Nobutani, Japan's director of media and content in the country's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry:
As of May 13, Sony was incomplete in exercising measures that they said they will do on the May 1 press conference.
Despite the complaints from Japan, Sony responded (via Cnet) that the PSN has had its security beefed up after the hacking incident led to the compromise of 101 million accounts:
The company has made considerable enhancements to the data security, including updating and adding advanced security technologies; additional software monitoring and penetration and vulnerability testing; and increased levels of encryption and additional firewalls. The company also added a variety of other measures to the network infrastructure, including an early-warning system for unusual activity patterns that could signal an attempt to compromise the network.
