PS4 Jailbreak In Development And Will Be Available This 2015 Says Lizard Squad; Sony PlayStation 4 Hack Allegedly Allows Users To Play Pirated Games And Go Online Without PS Plus

The PS4 Jailbreak hack allegedly made by the Lizard Squad would be available for everyone to try this 2015 if the reports and rumors are to be believed.

Previously, we have reported that Cyberland said that the Lizard Squad hacker group was reportedly able to find a security flaw in the latest 2.03 firmware of the PS4 which allowed them to look into the root files of PS4's OS and modify it to run their own code. That new code would allow them to run isos of Playstation 4 games.

It was then revealed by a member of the Lizard Squad on 4Chan that they chip they used to find the security flaw in the PS4 would be available for everyone to try this 2015. The member also said that they have included their Jailbreak hack method in the chip that allegedly allows the user to play pirated games and to go online without the need for PS Plus.

A side effect of this hack allegedly allows the user update their games via PSN and be able to play cracked DLC content for a specific game.

In a previous report, Lizard Squad said that they took their code from the previous PS4 jailbreak hack made by "Reckz0r" to achieve their method of jailbreaking the PS4.

GrahamCluley.com claimed that Reckz0r has published a tutorial on how to jailbreak the PS4, which makes use of Orbis OS (as it is based on FreeBSD, an open source OS). Though Reckz0r does claim that he did not find the vulnerability himself, he is, in fact, the mastermind behind the PS4 hack tutorial. ReckZ0r also claimed that Sony has already contacted him and threatened to have him arrested for posting the PS4 jailbreak hack tutorial online.

According to the report, Reckz0r and Sony have already had a conversation using direct messaging in the official PlayStation Twitter account.

"No? We're giving you one day, to delete that Pastebin link you have recently posted, alongside with the files if you have uploaded them somewhere. It won't take us long to get you arrested if you're still going to proceed spreading the jailbreak. :) Take the Geohotz scenario as an example."

It should be noted that the PS4 jailbreak hack has not been made public since then.
