I am sorry guys, but his intentions were malicious from the start it does not matter what Sony did, he would have done custom firmware eventually, please do not use this, goodness knows what it will bring to PS3, if you like spyware and viruses and getting personal information stolen, go for it.

None of that can happen over PSN because the hypervisor would stop any unsigned code being able to run on your PS3.  That my friend is FUD Sony chucked out there to try and fool people they were doing this for some altruistic purpose, its just not possible and they know it.

sorry but custom firmware already has been done, as to whether it's genuine is a different matter, and trust me if they can run custom firmware on ps3, expect more things to be able to be achieved on custome firmware:(:(

You made a claim that this is protecting the customer, how about you prove this by showing me just one link of how custom firmware on the PS3 resulted in someones details being hacked.  Spyware, viruses and your personal information are all protected by your PS3's hypervisor, the only consoles at risk would be those running custom firmware with their hypervisor disabled.  Trust me, you do not understand what you're talking about in this particular instance.
