PSPGo Hacked, Sony Responds Swiftly
The latest iteration of the PSP is Sony’s attempt to stop piracy more than anything. The PSP “phat”, as the first generation PSP is called is highly sought after by gamers looking to put custom firmware on the system, and the PSPGo is no exception to the rule, with hackers constantly working to try and breach Sony’s security. The problem is the anti-piracy methods Sony has in place in order to prevent this from happening.
The developer FreePlay released a savegame exploit over the weekend which takes advantage of a user mode vulnerability in Archer Maclean’s Mercury. Once Sony learned of the breach, the game was quickly removed from the Playstation Network, which is the only way to obtain the game. The firmware for the game was brought up to 6.20, which makes the vulnerability nonexistant, and the game was re-released, requiring firmware 6.20 to run. This was all done within the span of a few hours after the group’s release, which if this is any indication of the future, it seems the PSPGo might remain unhackable.
