Sony has another public image meltdown on its hands. According to a report by Playstationlifestyle.net, a group of hackers known as ‘The Three Musketeers’ claim to have discovered a security key that could potentially make all existing consoles able to decrypt current and future games and use custom firmware. The group claims to have not intended to leak the keys but somehow it leaked anyway, found its way to a group of Chinese hackers who intended to sell it for profit, according to the report. At this point, ‘The Three Musketeers’ released the keys publicly to spite those that would profit from their work. Console security cannot, I repeat cannot, be beefed up via firmware upgrade, according to the report.
Some other emulation related news sites I look at off and on are reporting it but who knows. Until someone develops it into a nice push-button customOS type thing that won't get you banned from PSN and cost you all your online play/digital content I doubt it's a big deal in the States/UK/Japan at least.
