Who
knew that before the PS4 even had a full month to breathe in the hands
of owners, a hack will come out and bring potential doom and chaos?
This is what the hacker Reckz0r may do if the damage that he did in Pastebin does not get resolved in the next few days.
So what may this exactly be?
It just so happens that Reckz0r seems to be trying to tick off Sony--as well as get back his fans' adoration--after a year of absence in the online hacking world. Now, Reckz0r did one of the unthinkables: hacking the PS4 to play pirated games.
GrahamCluley.com reports that the hacker has published a tutorial on how to jailbreak the PS4, which makes use of Orbis OS (as it is based on FreeBSD, an open source OS). Though Reckz0r does claim that he did not find the vulnerability himself, he is, in fact, the mind behind the PS4 tutorial hack, so much so that even Sony has started to give warnings.
Sony reacts--and it's not a pretty sight
According to the report, Reckz0r and Sony have already had a conversation using direct messaging in the official PlayStation Twitter account.
"No? We're giving you one day, to delete that Pastebin link you have recently posted, alongside with the files if you have uploaded them somewhere. It won't take us long to get you arrested if you're still going to proceed spreading the jailbreak. :) Take the Geohotz scenario as an example."
