Hackers have finally found their way through the PS3's front defenses - firmware versions 1.10 and 1.11 can now be allowed to boot game copies, but they won't play just yet. Homebrews are currently out of the scene too, which basically means tinkering with your unit right now will only break warranty.
However, Sony was quick on the trigger, immediately giving their word after the news broke out. Spokesperson Dave Karakker told Games Industry:
Unfortunately, hackers will try to exploit any hardware system software. The best we can do as a company is to make our security that much stronger and aggressively pursue legal action against anyone caught trying to use an exploit in an illegal manner.
