Update: Make that a VERY large grain of salt. Two connected hackers have been arrested since, allegedly in connection to the attacks. The Lizard Squad claimed responsibility for DDoS attacks on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live last Christmas. We’ll update this story as we learn more. It’s all rumours and speculation, so take this all with a large grain of salt. “As you all know, PS4 runs Orbis OS, that is highly based on FreeBSD (which is a opensource operating system), and as the PS4 is closely identical to a PC, I guess you all knew that PS4 and the Xbox One will probably end up getting pwned soon, and now.its time,” Rexkz0r said. In 2013, security analyst Graham Cluley reported that Reckz0r said a jailbreak was possible, and took to PasteBin to show how. Furthermore, the site alleges that Lizard Squad has based their work on that done back in 2013 by a hacker named Rexkz0r.
The site reports, but does not link to, a claim by Lizard Squad on 4chan saying an exploit has been found in PS4 2.03 firmware, allowing for the jailbreak hack. Korean site KDramaStars (update: link removed ’cause clickbait see below) today reports that hacker group the Lizard Squad looks set to release a PS4 jailbreak later this year.
