Games Thirst – Amazing Life
We know that Sony’s released its new online storage clouding saving system for PS Plus members, where they’ll be able to save and download games from anywhere in the world, and from any PS3 once they’re logged in to PSN. What we did not know, however, is that in this same update, Sony’s readied a patch that totally blocks hackers from entering the PS3, rendering the console completely protected once more.
And this time, it’s for good. As famed hacker Youness Alaoui, also known as KakARoToKS, confirmed that Sony’s found a way to secure the console from FailOverFlow’s breach.
“Wow, in 3.60, Sony removed all the loaders, no more isoldr/lv1ldr/lv2ldr/appldr.. but they added lv0.2! Seems they found a way to secure ps3,” tweeted the hacker.
“We already have the metldr key, the thing is that they don’t use metldr anymore, at all!
They can’t update or remove it (metldr), but very surprisingly, they just bypassed it, it’s there but unused..”
As for the PS3 being cracked again, KakARoToKS said it could indeed happen if folks have the know-how, but pursuers would have to start all over from scratch.
“For now, it looks to me (at first glance) that the ps3 has been resecured, but it doesn’t mean it can’t be broken again from scratch,” he said.
Adding: “I never said I won’t do anything about the PS3, I only said I don’t care right now about breaking 3.60..”
So for all those saying Sony couldn’t do nothing about it, surprise. Never say never.
