Unlocking the Back Door of XBox 360
I am not sure if this is good news or bad news! A flaw in the Xbox 360 DVD firmware was discovered and it enabled a certain hacker named “The Specialist” to succesfully invade the formidable defense of the Xbox 360. I can sense potential hackers out there drooling with excitement. “The Specialist” confirmed that the hacks enable a person to take full control of what the DVD would accept and it would mean that the drive could gain the capability to boot back ups of the original game DVDs. Although the 360 has a more advanced protection, Vole forgot to sign the firmware and this allow hackesr to gain full control of the drive. This is a threatening scenario for Microsoft unless they can do something to lock the backdoor again.
