Flaw in the PS Store "known for years"

A source close to Sony confirmed Videogame Source in Japan that the company was "years" aware of a flaw in the PlayStation Store which was used to illegally download the contents of the digital store. "The security hole that enabled the theft of the contents with Rebug had known for years," says the source.

"It was never resolved because it was thought that the PS3 was hacker-proof." The rumor had already leaked some time ago, when a user of Reddit. com Rebug had mentioned, which allowed developers to access the network. The problem, says the source close to Sony, is separated by the intrusion suffered by the illegal PlayStation Network a few weeks ago, but it will be resolved in a turn before restoring service.
