Wont go online says error 80710B23 - Sony PlayStation 3 40GB System

This error is normally for a server timeout, but the Playstation Network has been taken down by hackers sometime between April 17-19. All online games will not work while they are fixing the issue. Netflix has worked for me, so some online content may work. This has affected everyone around the world.
They don't a time frame yet of when it will be back up. It seems that some of our personal information may have been compromised as well.

80710B23 PS3 Network is Down or PS3 Network is too busy to respond

If you are wireless go wires i had the same problem and it is because of the poor wireless card in the PS3

You need to go into safe mode and Restore Default Settings.
Hold down power button in front of your computer keep holding it down untill you hear 2 quick beeps. Then let go of the power button. You should be in safe mode. How click down to RESTORE DEFAULT SETTING AND FOLLOW THE SIGN-UP PAGES. Use your account sign-in e-mail address and password. If you bought any games and downloaded from playstation store you can reload them from there they have a recorded of all downloads. You will have to redownload them.
NOTE: never turn the power button off from the back of the playstation when you are sign-in this will make it happen again always sign-out.
