PSJailbreak code leaked online

Recently, Sony blocked the sale of a device called PSJailbreak that would have let anyone run homebrew apps and play backed-up or copied games from their PlayStation 3. Now the same code running the device has been leaked out to the internet, allowing anyone to break open their PS3 if they have the right hardware.

The ability to play copied games is locked away in the code but we all know how long that is going to last. Having the code out there also means those who were dinged by the removal of OtherOS should be able to reactivate it.

With the PlayStation 3 cracked open, Sony will now have work on closing up any exploits for it on top of their efforts with the PSP. They made a good effort keeping it secure all these years but you really can't stop hackers from getting through.
