Hackers talked about the hacking of the PlayStation 5 console
An enthusiast tweeted that the group was able to get hold of the PS5 root keys. “They were all sourced through software, including the root key for each console,” fail0verflow said. The authors also noted that it will not be easy for Sony to close this vulnerability with an update.
According to journalists, admitting hackers to obtain root keys does not mean a complete hacking of the console. “Symmetric root keys allow hackers to decrypt files, including firmware,” the experts noted. In the event of a complete hacking of PS5, users will be able to install games on the console bypassing the security system: for example, pirated titles. This opens up the possibility of saving games to the device's memory for free.
At the end of October, Sony released another update. The experts who checked the update said that the console was more powerful. According to the description of the update, it has optimized settings for the game console and improved the interface.
