Sony's console was one of the few (if not only) machine to resist various attacks from hackers hoping to one day run software and pirated games.
Only George Hotz, known as Geohot, working independently of large groups, had managed to get hold of several keys for launching unauthorized applications on the PS3.
Since then, the advanced technology has increased by installing a custom firmware running only if the machine was running under a version lower than 3.55. In other words, it was still difficult to launch non-desired by the Japanese firm ... until now.
The collective of hackers "The 3 Musketeers" has indeed managed to decrypt the key LV0 (for Level 0) to include checking the version of the console. This discovery will therefore allow hackers to monitor and firmware chopper interesting elements to run pirated games.
The height for Sony is that these three Musketeers did not want to publicize this discovery. This is a result of sharing this discovery with the collective BlueDiskCFW, eager to sell these data to line their pockets, the Musketeers have decided to publish this story revelation to thwart criminals.
We would therefore be on the verge of a final hacking the console if different cryptologists, including Nate Lawson, did not announce that Sony can still do "many things" to block this breakthrough.
