Sony PlayStation 3 Is Now Pwned For Life As Geohot Posts Root Keys
By Haras | January 4th, 2011

A few days ago, a small group of German hackers called fail0verflow found an exploit that could completely open up the PlayStation 3 console. Dubbed as “epic PS3 security bypass”, they found the method to calculate the security keys, which is just a Sony signature that lets the PS3 know whether the application they’re trying to open is legit, or not.

Today, the infamous iPhone hacker George Hotz (or just Geohot) has released the PS3 Root Key publicly along with a message thanking the fail0verflow team. He also said, he doesn’t condone piracy, and “it’d be fun to be on the other side” with console makers, helping them in making their consoles more secure.

Doh!  Just as I sold my extra PS3!  Broken blueray drive but working system otherwise.  Would have been fun to try this out.  Not sure I want to risk my working one...

Also would have meant being able to play PS3 in 2 rooms :P
