Last week, a hacking group called "fail0verflow" presented the PlayStation 3 "private key," a master code that Sony uses to authorize code on all retail consoles.
Knowing the root key means any hacker can gain full control of the PS3 system, without needing to jailbreak it using a USB dongle.
Today, infamous iPhone hacker Geohot released the root key to the world, beating fail0verflow to the punch.
