Geohot exploit removed in 3.60 firmware update

The latest 3.60 firmware update is to nominally debut cloud saves for the PlayStation 3, but some hackers have noticed that it also includes a fix to "resecure" the system from the infamous Geohot rootkey hack.

Hacker KaKaRoToKS tweeted: “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… For now, it looks to me (at first glance) that the ps3 has been resecured, but it doesn’t mean it can’t be broken again from scratch.”

So, while the PlayStation 3 will get hacked again, it won't be through an easy back door like the rootkey (or will it?)

Stay tuned.

Loaders have been removed, but there is another way through the L2v dump >s

Is this the end of the war or the calm before the storm?

The PS3 will be hacked. At least online multiplayer won't be as bad. You certainly won't have hackers banning other PSN users.
