New York: Sony is offering its PlayStation owners a five-day membership extension after the company’s network was taken down on Christmas Day by an external attack, The Mashable said. Owners, many of them new after receiving the console for Christmas, were unable to connect to the network due to a distributed denial of service attack on the Sony system.

Hacker group Lizard Squad claimed responsibility on Twitter for the December 25 attack. In a Thursday post, A Holiday Thank You, Sony offered affected users a gift to show “appreciation for your patience.” PlayStation users who had an active membership or a free trial on December 25 will be eligible to receive a membership extension for five days.

It will be automatically applied to accounts, and if the accounts expire by the time it is applied, a five-day PlayStation Plus membership will be offered. The company also said they will sweeten the deal by granting a 10% discount coupon to customers.
