Sony is allegedly going beyond its internal network to improve security. Gamasutra sources claim Sony has handed out new SDKs (software development kits) to developers. The new SDK will apparently enhance security in the games developers create. All this is being done in time for the PlayStation Network’s return that is estimated to occur within six days from now. This additional security may further protect individual games in the event that the PS3 is ever compromised once again.
Modern Warfare 2 was one of the main games that was against hackers when the PS3 was cracked wide open. It relied on the PS3’s security without an extra layer of protection created by Infinity Ward. Months later, Infinity Ward that addressed hacking issues.
At the same time, a new PS3 Slim model has shown up in the FCC database. There are very few details about what changes the PS3 has undergone. The model numbers are CECH-3001A and CECH-3001B. It’s being speculated that these new PS3 models may have been created in response to the root key hack that occurred late last year and persisted into this year.
