Sony is restoring its PlayStation Network in the US, Europe and parts of Asia today after hackers stole customer data and sent services offline in April.

In a statement, the Tokyo-based company said services will resume in the US, Europe and Asia, excluding Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea. The restoration includes Sony's Qriocity music services.

Sony shut down the network after a massive security breach that affected more than 100 million online accounts and embarrassed the tech giant.

Sony said it has added "considerable" security enhancements to protect customer data. It hopes to entice customers with a "Welcome Back" package of free game downloads and premium services.

It did not specify a timeline for Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea to be back online.
