If the PSN network is connected to the Internet and you receive a message about this error, it is because the IP address assigned to you by your network service provider or ISP is blocked due to actions that violate the terms of service on the PlayStation ™ Network. These actions can be caused by malicious traffic that has been identified as coming from the IP address that you are currently assigned by your network service provider or ISP. Typical causes are listed below.
It is recommended that you contact the network service provider or the equipment manufacturer for more information about the consequences of resetting to factory settings. SIE is not responsible for the damage caused by resetting to factory settings on your devices. If you believe there is no malicious activity on your network that could lead to denial of access to our network, the network service provider or ISP will most likely be able to help you in obtaining a new IP address. After a certain period of time after resolving this issue, the IP address assigned to you will be automatically unlocked.
