PS4 update 4.73 removes Jailbreak exploit - report
That’s at least according to new reports filtering onto the web today, which claims that the patch, which was released yesterday to ostensibly improve system stability, also had a more significant role---cracking down on the PS4 jailbreak exploit.
Since PS4’s launch in November 2013, hackers have managed to unearth a small exploit in in the console’s game sharing functionality. Sony has a restriction in place so that this feature is limited to one system, but some individuals have cracked this thanks to the release of a new mod chip called MTX, allowing them to bypass the restriction.
However, this is not an authentic jailbreak per see, and requires the use of a PSN ID with legitimately purchased games. Not only that, but you have a high chance of having your PSN ID flagged and alerting the hardware to Sony, who will have no compunction in bringing down the ban hammer.

Echo Slowly but surely current-gen's are being exploited, It's only a matter of time.
It's a lot harder than you think, I give it another year or so to do. The "Switch" was hacked at launch, but it didn't let you exploit anything
