The 3.60 update is here, and it's features include:
<li> Setting the amount of time before a controller turns off after you have stopped using it.
<li> Cloud Storage [PS+ Users only for the time being]: You can now store up to 150MB of date or 1,000 save game files on the cloud. This basically allows gamers access to their saved data on the cloud by logging in. It also allows the back up of copyrighted saved date along with regular saved date.
<li> "Other minor Features"- As broadly stated by Sony.[/FONT]
PS3 hacker Youness Alaoui, better known as KakARoToKS, states that the new firmware has a "completely revamped security architecture model that does not use the exploited and compromised loaders, and therefore unhackable."

Wow, in 3.60, Sony removed all the loaders, no more isoldr/lv1ldr/lv2ldr/appldr.. but they added lv0.2! Seems they found a way to secure ps3.
We already have the metldr key, the thing is that they don’t use metldr anymore, at all!
They can’t update or remove it (metldr), but very surprisingly, they just bypassed it, it’s there but unused..

What that basically means is that the PS3 loads metldr at some point, launching the OS and game loaders, which the hackers were able to bypass. A presentation by fail0verfl0w showed that the metldr can't be changed, meaning the PS3 would be forever defenseless. However, it appears that Sony has come up with a way to bypass metldr. Now, if they properly signed their codes, the PS3 should be once again secured.

The way I see it, fail0verflow was right.
None of the loaders can be patched via updates, only through software upgrades.
The implementation of the new lv0.2 can't make the PS3 hack proof, but make it EXTREMELY harder to gain access to it software wise, only through hardware modifications. But, I do believe they may have made the PS3 software hack-proof, but not full-proof.
It's a good move for Sony because it will make it less likely for people to gain hacks for this console, but hacks and exploits can't be put an end, update wise, or hardware wise, there's always a way to exploit anything.

Nothing is "Unhackable", I'm very happy and quite impressed that Sony once again sort of secured their system. Since they were able to bypass it, they can hopefully sign their codes properly like it said in the post.
Coming from a well known Hacker (KakARoToKS) saying it's somehow "Unhackable" should be worth noting. This update pretty much put all hackers at bay with this update from Sony.
Just my opinion on topic and thanks for the read!
EDIT: About 4 hours ago he himself (KakARoToKS) posted on his twitter regarding the PS3: Oh, before I get flooded : NOT BY ME! I don't really care about breaking the PS3, I'm fine with what we have so far. I will NOT work on it!! about 4 hours ago via web
