The fact that Sony’s PS3 being exposed by the publication of its root key by the hacker, GeoHot is old news. Since then, Sony has been struggling to pick themselves back up after this unfortunate incident.
Sony had hoped that the latest update, 3.56, on January 27, 2011, would cure the previous problem. Only hours after the update was release, there were reports that hackers bypassed the update in order to release more root-keys.
Sony can take comfort in the fact that a temporary restraining order has been issued against George Hotz (GeoHot), that prevents him from becoming involved in any activities of publishing newly discovered root-keys.
Another important, possibly joyous event for Sony, is the release of their latest handheld system known as the NGP (Next Generation Portable) also released on January 27.
