again, another thread showing useless "news" that closely resembles something like, "oh, the sun is shining today".

get over it. all consoles will be hacked. it's inevitable. it's like you're all outraged by government tax. ps3 gets hacked? so? it was going to happen anyway. why is this so special? get your wits about yourselves. don't make news out of nothing.


It's special because every system until now is hacked entering from exploits, doing voltage spikes (NES anyone), modding hardware (with the risk of console bricking), backdoors, smart tricks, complicated moves, etc., PS3 is not that case now, thanks to the brilliant mind that didn't apply the ECDSA like it's supposed to (with a constant when it's supposed to be a random number) the PS3 private keys (and now the PSP's) are available, so this is not entering by the window or a tunnel, this is entering with the front door keys...

That's why this hack is getting so much press (and of course, because it's been 4 years and some people thought the PS3 was unhackable, but like you said, every system is hackable)...
