George Hotz a.k.a GeoHot - the same guy who gave the world first ever iPhone exploit has finally pwned the Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) by achieving read/write access to the entire memory system of the console including HyperVisor level access to the processor, which in plain english means that it's now a matter of time to reverse-engineer the internal software and get it hacked for whatever purpose without removing the NAND or using a modchip.
Sony PS3 enjoyed the label of being a secure console for more then three years, but not anymore - GeoHot is not going to post the exploit as of now but once the hole goes public many programmers will surely come-up with Homebrew applications for the platform including the ability to play ripped pirated Sony PS3 games on the console without buying them
