RUMOR: Sony could (may) remotely disable all Jailbroken/hacked PS3's!

To date, Sony's response to the jailbreak has been limited to mandatory firmware updates and revoking PSN access to those that refuse to use official system software.

However, a report by Digital Foundry claims that Sony can take far more drastic measures. Even if you've never signed up for a PSN account, your console will communicate with Sony servers every time it boots up. That initial load process is used to upload error logs, download updates to the "What's New" module, and a list of recently-run applications, including any unauthorized backup manager software.

Sony has yet to ban any consoles for taking advantage of the jailbreak, but the terms and conditions of the PlayStation Network make it clear that Sony has the authority to carry them out. Thanks to the system's constant self-reporting feature, "the company even has the means to irrevocably disable your console should it so wish," rendering affected PS3 consoles unusable, online and off. But will Sony ever use such a drastic measure? And if so, how will the hacker scene retaliate?
The Banhammer May Be Coming

Code:
fus01.ps3.update.playstation.net > Update Server (sys updates)
mercury.dl.playstation.net > What's new ads
nsx.np.dl.playstation.net > playstation store preview
nsx-e.np.dl.playstation.net > ads
(main file exchange connections)
us.np.stun.playstation.net > on boot initiates connection
ena.net.playstation.net > SSLv3 connection after above connection
dus01.ps3.update.playstation.net > secondary update attempt (could force updates)
auth.np.ac.playstation.net > SSLv3 authentication server
(destination servers)
service.playstation.net (has multiple IPs if only the ip address is blocked)
(Error Reporting)
creepo.ww.hl.playstation.net (uploads crash reports etc.)
Almost all connections cannot just be port blocked, the port will continue to increment until it connects, you have to block the entire domains. Also a big point is that ALL computers on your network need to have these blocked not just the PS3's MAC because if you are running a proxy for example to get patches, the computer you proxy to will just allow the connections right out to the open unless all local IPs are blocked from these sites as well.

Y is every1 so scared of getting banned. so what if they banned you. that dont stop u from doing the things that u r doing now, like CFW and backup Managers.

Sony wouldn't brick your PS3. Probally ban you account(s).

Well i just got banned (1-20-2011)when i got online it said (your stats have been reset)a was really mad:y:. But I wasn't banned from PSN or MW2(I host Challenge Lobbys:shh But it let play it in another acount(black ops).I dont Know for how long or for what reason i was banned,someone help/facepalm.

Don't plug in Ethernet cable, therefore it won't be able to connect to the internet.
What ever is happening Sony is in deep shit and i'm making the most out of it.

Even if they do ban your console' hackers will come out with some sort of a patch to fix it...soon or late

OMFG! Just stop posting useless crap! its getting realy annoying! As a Thread said, if Sony disables PS3s they will lose alot of money! Over 20,000 PSN users have a jailbroken PS3 and if they cant aces the Playstation Network sony wil lose alot! Not only money, but customers too!

And how exactly were those people with jb ps3's profiting sony? By downloading free games?

No paying for games and using buying the system??

So that was already paid for and in no way were u profiting after you jailbreak it? You were actually trying to get free games which is a LOST to them.

Exactly! Sony will lose alot...
