Full-fledged PlayStation 4 hack - now you can run games released in the last 8 years

Three groups of hackers at once boasted of a full-fledged hack of the previous generation Sony game console. Now you can easily find the flashed versions of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Soon, offers with a jailbroken PlayStation 4 console may appear on the ad sites.

The hacker groups SpectreDev, ChendoChap and Znullptr were able to run arbitrary code on the PlayStation 4. Representatives of the first group even showed a video of the hacking of the built-in protection in firmware v9.0.0, which was released in early autumn 2021.

Hacking makes it possible to run pirated games and programs on the PlayStation 4. Note that the previous generation console was hacked before, but each previous exploit made it possible to run games only on older versions of the software. The hackers emphasized that the new vulnerability could allow a jailbreak for the Sony PlayStation 5 game console.
