Here's a question someone asked on gamefaqs: Now that the ps3 systems are hacked, how safe is your ps3 from Malware and crap like that?

I assume it's safe unless you go around downloading homebrew apps (and that's true for any homebrew app).

Awesome, I look forward to the zomg, my ps3 has been hacked threads.

Come on, you can't be this naive...

Oh? In what way?

Easy, how many threads have you seen like that for Wii, 360, DS and PSP, not to mention Gamecube, PS2, PS1, etc...?

Oh yeah, that's right... none.

 

Of course however installing custom firmware has the risk of bricking your console, but so does installing official updates.
