Sony's network hacked AGAIN - lulzsec

Post by DaAnimeOtaku » Tue Jun 07, 2011 2:02 pm

According to this source, a hacking group called lulzsec, hacked into sony's servers and stole information.
The source code leaked by the group could give users access to Sony’s developer network. A PlayStation 3 (PS3) jailbreak giving access to the network months back led to mass piracy of PS3 games.

Access to the source code would allow hackers to be able to reverse-engineer the network and spawn new sites similar to Sony's, as well as perhaps "fork" the software to create new versions of it. In addition, the fact that hackers have been able to access the source code for Sony's internal servers indicates that they may also be able to change the source code on Sony's servers, thus changing how the official developer network operates.

They would also be able use the source code to find and perhaps even create more security holes in the system and exploit them, wreaking further havoc on Sony’s already battered network security team.
this website claimed that a member of lulzsec has been arrested but lulzsec's twitter says that they are all still here and together.
The source code and more information can be found at http://lulzsecurity.com/

What does this actually mean? o.O
The source code has been out and still is out. Will this allow for users to jailbreak and continue to jailbreak the system software? even the latest ps3 3.65 firmware?
Also, if we can sign things for psp, we can sign things for ps3 right?
why is there such a smaller amount of homebrew circulating the ps3 then if this is the case?

Wow, this is certainly interesting...
This is bad news for some people. I dont know what side to be on, ill stay on the sidelines.
As for homebrew development, theres only one word for it: LAWSUIT

Everyone is afraid of what may or may not happen.

This source code has nothing to do with the system software in PS3, as the notice clearly states that is the source code of the server in PSN. Some hackers could swindle users by making similar sites to Sony's, so I think this is a very serious theme. These guys go very far with their methods, I'm not sure I can support these actions. I think the hacker spirit is very very compromised as actual hackers are going far beyond any ethics, following their own belivings and hates. So, Sony can fall, and what else after that?
