for someone who doesn't really seem to understand the situation very well you seem to be extremely sure of how right you are here have a read :

i suggest you just take a step back, take a deep breath and educate yourself more on this issue... who knows maybe then you'll stop claiming things that have no validaty to them like how sony supposedly advertised other os and the ps3 is still supposedly insecure via the keys

"But not everyone is convinced by the fix. "I would be very surprised if this fix isn't hacked fairly quickly," says Theresa Verity, a cryptologic technician, in the US Navy's Information Dominance Corps, who goes by the hacking name of Squidly1. "For the fix to really stand it has to invalidate all previous keys and that would make all previous content unplayable," she says."

Your first article has convinced me further that my stance is indeed the right one. Why? Because I would take the words of a cryptography expert over the words of a company looking to re-instill confidence in the developer community that their platform is indeed safe again.

The question lies whether new software requires a new master key issue. However, that still doesn't make the PS3 100% secure again, since old software requires the use of the old key, which is still broken.

"Because I would take the words of a cryptography expert over the words of a company"

the expert himself says that the hack was fixed

"I would be very surprised if this fix isn't hacked fairly quickly"

regardless of whether he thinks it will be hacked quickly or not ( the fix was done months ago so obviously not quickly ) the fact remains that he acknowledges that it was fixed...

which goes against what you've said

"Dude, the exploit is still there"
