The PS3 May Have Just Had Its Front Door Kicked In

Forget jailbreak holy rummy devices; the same team who broke the Wii wide open now claims to have done the same for the royally rummy PlayStation 3, leaving Sony’s console at the mercy of homebrewers and pirates alike. http://kotaku.com/349489/wii-hacked During proceedings at the 27th Chaos Communication Conference, a group of hackers gave a presentation called “PS3 Epic fail”. You can see where this is 
going. Sparing 
you the overly-technical explanation, the team claim to have found the PS3’s “private cryptography key”, a skeleton 
key of sorts for the console that would allow users rummy 365 to install and run their own code on the machine.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); It’s hoped that tools allowing the installation of Linux – something Sony blocked earlier this year – will be released by the group next month. And from there, the sky – or, at least, a ton of pirated and homebrewed games – is the limit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcbaeKA2moE Hackers obtain PS3 private cryptography key due to epic programming fail?
