Rumor: PS3 hacked yet again, this time it might be for keeps
In theory, the LV0 decryption keys make is easy to decode any system update to the PlayStation 3, Eurogamer writes. The LV0 keys allow PS3 firmware to be decrypted on PC, and then re-encrypted with firmware 3.55 keys to run on hacked consoles.
A group called "The Three Muskateers" takes responsibility for the LV0 keys, but not the leak itself. That's all thanks to a new Chinese hacking group, "BlueDiskCFW," who planned to release and charge for custom firmware updates using The Three Muskateers' LV0 keys. To stop BlueDiskCFW from profiting off the keys, the Muskateers released them.
"You can be sure that if it wouldn't have been for this leak, this key would never have seen the light of day," The Three Muskateers write in a statement. "Only the fear of our work being used by others to make money out of it has forced us to release this now."

AR15 Isn't this like the third or fourth time the PS3 has been hacked? I'm not hating, but Sony really needs to have better protection of their system.
This isn't a malicious hack. It is basically like a jtag. Sony probobly has the best security for their systems. Their multilayer service on the other hand...

Dumb_Modz All of these comments on how xbox is better in my opinion having a hacked ps3 again will be fun I own a few jtags myself and a few ps3s that can be hacked now it only makes the games more enjoyable.
I wouldn't say that, after a while it gets boring for some games, especially cod etc. because it takes out the challenge of the game. :/
Some games are fun though, I agree.

LosaraCubz Xbox has better security!
Agreed.
J-tag/RGH ? never heard of that... they just have better detection systems in place but still fail at hardware protection just like sony/nintendo.
