Crucial security information about the Sony PlayStation 3 has been leaked online, making it easier for users to play pirated games on the machine.

Unlocking games consoles is a common way for users to open up the system, but in the past, such efforts have been quickly thwarted.

This hack is equivalent to stealing a master key, say experts.
It'll be interesting to see how they go about "fixing" this issue. Surely the best thing to do would be to issue a new key via a security patch...but then I am not sure how they would do this without the patch being instantly cracked? Should be fun anyway :)

Just had to do an update already, maybe that's a patch?
