First off the PS3 has reportedly been hacked, this new hack pertains to the user buying a USB dongle which has software upon it, this software somehow allows the user to then run homebrew and various other games on the system as if it was in debug mode or even DEVPS3 mode(s).
Sony and the creator of the device have so far not commented on this but a distributor has said that he has tested the device and will be selling them soon.
In other news a spate of port flooding on the Xbox Live system has allowed various cyber criminals to gain users IP addresses and essentially flood the ports that the XBOX uses, hereby stopping the player from playing, this is commonly done to the host if the attacker was in a game and they lost. This can be constrived as a revenge tactic.
Microsoft have said that they are looking into this and anyone caught doing so will be banned from XBL.
All for now
Dan.
