I think Sony will patch it. Reason not done yet, (IMO). I think Sony is waiting to see like everyone (including me) if this is 100% absolutely real.
For those that think it would be hard to patch... Think about what it is doing. This again IMO is a hack that Sony likes if their system is to be hacked, cause it really would be a simple patch. Though it would effect their service methods.
What I mean is, from what I have read. The Jig boots "before" the FW that is on the PS3. So, easily fixed if that is case. They just just have to change boot order "Or" just make the USB "non bootable". Which either case is pretty simple to them.
All just my opinion
