New PS3 hack detectable by Sony

It is almost certain that, with the current exploit, you will be detected and your console banned from PSN. The first report I have seen says the ban was a 30 day ban so you might not be permanently banned, but caution should still be taken. I would advice using the hack offline only.

A bit of information from devs in the ps3 scene

RichDevX has tweeted (http://twitter.com/RichDevX/status/21834071821, http://twitter.com/RichDevX/status/21853453805, and http://twitter.com/RichDevX/status/21834160613) the following: "Using the backup manager on PSN is like walking into a trap. Title: Backup Manager || Title ID: LAUN12345. FYI, dongle IDs can be revoked! Don't be surprised if error 0x8002A227 is returned."

The below is from SKFU. This guy isn't on top of my "to be respected" list, but he has knowledge.

SONY may update the PS3's bootcode to prevent loading the stick. They also could log the "backup manager"'s game ID (LAUN-12345) when people go online. So they could identify who actually uses the illegal JIG clone and ban the affected consoles. This would be an illegal step aswell, but hey; it's SONY.
