A comment made by fail0verflow, the hacking group which took down the PS3’s security measures, that the only way to fix the hack is for Sony to release new hardware is not true, according to the platform holder.
Speaking to the BBC fail0verflow member pytey said: “The complete console is compromised – there is no way back.
“The only way to fix this is to issue new hardware. Sony will have to accept this.”
However, in a comment given to Edge, Sony said: “We are aware of this, and are currently looking into it. We will fix the issues through network updates, but because this is a security issue, we are not able to provide you with any more details.”
Network updates suggests Sony intends to fix the compromised security with firmware updates, a move which goes against what the hacking group has said.
Given the confidence of the hackers, it will be very interesting to see if Sony can, as it claims, fix the problem with a series of updates.
