More security on the PS3 after Jailbreak

Treyarch, the developer of Call of Duty: Black Ops, admitted that they had increased security measures on the PlayStation 3 console due to violation of the hacker. "For a hardware manufacturer, the problem is much worse," said community manager Josh Olin to NowGamer. "For us in terms of security, there are implications, but we had already incorporated various security measures." "When you spread the news of the breach of the PlayStation 3, we all thought, well, it's time to activate the security measures on the PS3." A few days ago, Sony has won the first round of a legal battle that Japan sees the company as opposed to the hacker George Hotz and his team.

Hotz defends itself by stating that it changed the console for homebrew applications, but the judges do not seem to feel the same way. Nor Olin defends the hacker: "I understand their point of view, but they know that many do not affect applications and that the changes will allow people to run pirated software."
