Sony is now issuing Perma-Bans to PSN hackers

4.7
Sony is warning its Playstation 3 Users that anyone caught using the recently released modified software on their Playstation 3 units could face being Perma-Banned

Sony has issued a consumer alert to its PSN users informing them that “Unauthorised software for the Playstation 3 system was recently released by hackers” and that “Use of such software violates the terms of the ‘System Software License Agreement for the Playstation 3 System’ and the ‘Terms of Services and User Agreement’”

“To avoid permanent termination, consumers must immediately cease using and delete all unauthorised or pirated software from their Playstation 3 systems”

It seems unclear from this statement whether these Perma-Bans will be blocking users from connecting to the Playstation Network or if Sony will be console banning the offending Playstation’s.

Good thing they finally got onto banning. It's pretty hard to find a game without hackers.

TheUnknownModderHD Thats crap!

1. Millions of PSN Users do it it will take days to pin point the hackers and ban em

2. Why do it now? they could have done it a while ago.

3. i think its just a way for Sony to scare newbie psn hackers to thinking 'im gunna get banned, im not going to hack'.

And the idea for having to pay for PSN is ****. It will just anger hackers and make normal psn users suffer.

my Message to Sony 'SONY THERE IS NO POINT! IT WILL MAKE MORE HACKERS ANGRY. I KNOW I WAS A PSN HACKER, I ONLY STOPPED TO USE MY PROGRAMMING FOR BETTER PURPOSE. IT WILL ALSO TAKE DAYS TO TARGET THE MAIN HACKERS LIKE JAIL BREAKERS AND BAN THEM. ONCE AGAIN NO POINT DOING IT...'

Done.


I think they just want all of the hacking to come to an end, plain and simple.

It is about time that they have started doing this. Xbox has also been on the hunt.
