What exactly is the story behind this having to do anything with the PSN? I've been following this stuff and there's nothing about that apart from people circumventing the version check for the login (which wouldn't be the first time this has been done at all), and that simply allows them to be on the network without upgrading to 3.56. It doesn't give you admin status on the PSN, neither allows you to do anything special. Last I heard they couldn't even sync their fake trophies.


One game has had a problem with cheaters

It's all satan's geohot's fault. Activision has patched the game. No one cares anymore about it. It's still Geohot's fault

Heh, wasn't that mainly an issue with godmode actually still being in the game and saves not being protected? Though I heard Socom was also having a problem, but seriously that is far from hacking the PSN and opening everyone's deposit box etc o_O.

Though at this point I think Sony should start banning, after the warnings they've been sending out it seems like a long enough grace period, I don;t know what's stopping them.

People took the whole "unbanning themselves and banning others" out of proportion. PSN security has not been compromised. However, Sony needs to work towards preventing ID impersonation, which is how people were getting around the bans (and banning others, if they happened to pick the same PS3 ID as another machine). Client side identification is too risky for an online environment, and they're only now just finding that out.
