<font color='black'>Sony has launched firmware update 3.42for the PlayStation 3. This update is to target recent Jailbreaking devices which varied from almost anything with a USB and a HDD including a scientific calculator. The extent people have gone to in order to Jailbreak their PS3 consoles is pretty impressive to say the least.


Sony has been struggling to keep the USB devices under wraps and out of customers reach which triggered the home manufacturing of similar devices. Using a security loophole within the consoles HDD the device made it possible for Jailbreak users to use pirated software on their consoles.


Sony hasn't yet given details to what changes were made in the update but BBC have quoted the words of a Sony representative:
<div style="margin: 5px 20px 20px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 2px;" class="smallfont">Quote:</div><table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="border: 1px inset;" class="alt2"><div>Originally Posted by <strong>Sony Representative</strong></div>
<div style="font-style: italic;">As we always have, we will continue to take necessary actions to both hardware and software to protect the intellectual content provided on the PlayStation 3</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
Not long ago, an Australian Federal Court allowed Sony to have a temporary ban on the sales of the PS Jailbreak device, which forced the manufacturers of the hacking unit to hand over all existing devices to Sony. So it looks like the reign of this whole Jailbreak of the PS3 hasn't lasted as long as some would have wished it would, basically all PlayStation users, but it may have been the first of many methods to hacking the console, hopefully.</font>
