Researcher reassures PS3 users over hack newsDela @ Oct 28, 2012 23:28 | 2 comments
Last year, a huge PlayStation Network (PSN) data breach affected so many people that apparently any news of a new hack can lead to users getting worried. Chris Boyd, senior threat researcher at GFI Software, said that the incidents lately will not affect regular gamers.
"The Playstation Network itself is still secure and users shouldn't panic. I've already seen one person say they cancelled their credit card as a result of thinking the PSN had been compromised (it hasn't). With the PS4 on the horizon, this may prompt SONY to speed up work on the upcoming console," he said.
The incidents being referred to are a release from a Chinese group BlueDisk-CFW, and a later release of the LV0 decryption keys for the console. The news of the hack seems to have been interpreted, at least by some, as another PSN security threat.
"The only real benefit to this is for those already running custom firmware on hacked machines, who are now able to update their PS3 and go online. While they may be able to play games online until Sony change the PSN passphrase, it's unlikely to cause a wave of in-game cheating and modding," Boyd said. |

Comment by: IguanaC64 (Oct 29, 2012 14:37) So...question...how many actual mods to cheat (I guess like autoaim or invincibility cheats) are there out in the wild due to the CFW hack? Are people actually developing these cheats?
