    pretty sad that you have to put upwards of 150M peoples CC and personal info at risk to start taking security seriously!
    had to laugh today the 3.4 and 3.6 full SDKs have been leaked too, so now anyone with consoles running on 3.6 or lower can now downgrade to which ever FW they want!
    oh $ony, will you ever fix those leaking pipes?

    leaking the latest SDK so now everyone can downgrade their ps3s and do whatever they want with them is doing better?
    $ony has been a complete utter mess ever since father ken left!
