Kevin Butler Accidentally Retweets PS3 Jailbreak Code to Thousands of Followers
A quip roughly battleships has off into an mortifying sin for Sony.
Sony's representative and VP of Fictional Protagonism, Kevin Butler, unwittingly helped to spread the now-infamous PS3 origin key by retweeting it on Twitter. Sony is busy trying to preclude the great unwashe from getting hold of the key, so not only is this slip-upwardly embarrassing for Sony, it's besides possibly undone a lot of its hard work.
[Update: It was really the cipher for the USB Jailbreak gimmick from subterminal year, and non the side key as previously mentioned. So, still an embarrassing slip-aweigh for Sony, but as information technology has already dealt thereupon fastidious vulnerability, the code wasn't as damaging as the root key would have been.]
Linux and Mac enthusiast Travis La Marr tweeted the encrypt at Butler, and sign-language off with the meme-tastic "come at me @TheKevinButler." Whoever manages the Kevin Butler Twitter bill didn't realize the significance of the long string of letters and numbers, and retweeted it, adding the remark, "Lemme guess … You sank my Battleship?" Clearly, someone figured out what was going on, because the tweet has since been removed, but for a curtly prison term, the code was raised for everyone and anyone to see.
La Marr said that his twirp was meant to show his despise for the way that Sony was handling the situation with the security breach, adding that he didn't really possess a PS3. Since the release of the code in January, Sony has sued George Hotz and the hacker aggroup Fail0verflow, and issued DMCA takedown notices to leastwise one site handling custom PS3 firmware. Sony was recently awarded a restraining order against Hotz, and is attempting to subpoena records from YouTube and Chirrup containing the individual details of the people it holds responsible for releasing the code, and anyone who has watched any videos associated with it.
