PS3 Hackers Can Ban Legitimate User To Uban Their Consoles
It appears that hackes found a way to Ban another console's ID and Unban their own.
From Forum Post:
Hot off the press, and on the heels of Sony trying to find all the modded PS3 consoles, comes a funny story from SKFU’s Blog (an PS3 researcher/developer), along with a real way to UNBANyourself, but watch out LEGIT PS3 owners, you could end up being banned by another user!It seems hackers found a way to do this buy using a program that can change their console's ID
1) The bans are based on the users’ account and console ID’s.
2) We can modify all traffic sent and received by the PlayStation3
What if some skiddies start to modify their sent traffic to appear as another user and use backups?
The PSN servers would recognize the TOS violation and check the online user database for known connections based on the ID’s. The user and his consoles who really owns the ID’s would be banned.
Even a simple Windows application which goes through ALL ID’s may be possible. 24 hours and any console worldwide would be banned.
This should definitely be double-checked by SONY.
If those are valid news, then most of PS3 users are screwed :/
