Malicious PSP code on the loose
Owners of Sony's PlayStation Portable
(PSP) have been warned about a
malicious piece of software which can
render the games machine unusable.
The code is masquerading as a firmware
patch for the PSP which downgrades the
system from 2.0 to 1.5, said security
firm F-S eMcure.
In its blog, F-Secure said the software
removes several important system files,
making the machine unbootable.
The patch is said to come from a group
called PSP Team.
