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."

Crazyscott9696NYGMyDingDingDongsHollywood_UndeadMyDingDingDongsExzoItsrealCJ How many times has the Xbox been hacked? Oh wait none. Sony's garbage
Exactly what I'm saying. That's why i will never get a PS3.
There's only been 1 case where PlayStation Network has been fully hacked , this hack what's displayed isn't a hack that compromises the entire network its just a firmware hack , Xbox had firmware hacks at one point but that was only because of Jtags being able to be connect on-line but now patched . I understand that Xbox is better when it comes to security but to be honest you get what your pay for and in PlayStation's case you pay nothing , Free = Ok , Pay = Better .
LOL, give up now.
You cant win when Xbox beats PS3, and PC beats BOTH
Yeah security wise Xbox hands down beats PS3 , but when it comes to what system you like its down to opinion , there is no 'winner' .....
I own both and they are both good. But I play Xbox more
Yeah, more to do like arcade games, indie games, dashbored, stuff like that :P + party chat xD
yep all this is true i like ps3 for certain games but thats about it

Leakriverstudd Everyone on here who is saying "Sony sucks!!" or "lol sony get better protection" are you even kidding me???? is this site truly filled with that many ignorant children?? Is anyone here older than 12 years old? grow up and learn about something before you run your mouth like you know everything.
Your just mad that you wasted $600 on a bad console when it was released.

PC may be superior in graphics and veritility, but, I'm my opinion, the Pc is just missing something. The community for the consoles are just more friendly and more people have headsets since one is provided with the xbox.
Not to mention the xobx is $200 while a good PC is at least $800.
