This is all massive speculation
The other theory I've heard was that the update server may have been compromised as part of turning all the PS3s into a massive botnet (once you have control of the updates (the VERY hard part), not all that hard to do, just make them look somewhere else for new patches and the only thing Sony can do is to make everyone actually do something on the machine to fix it).
This is already enough of a complete fuckup without the extra theories flying around.

true enough
I've seen enough forums to see everything blamed, from Microsoft to Doctor Who for the PSN being down.
It's just that with this case, wouldn't the 3rd party developers etc be just a bit completely pissed if they knew Sony were aware of them allowing free software to be accessed by the hacked-ps3 community? Unless Sony sort this out (among all other probs they got) they won't be able to put the PSN back on.
