Hackers targetting Black Ops as PS3 jailbreakers run wild

In light of the recent news that the PS3's security has been blown wide open, allowing jailbreakers to install custom firmware onto their consoles, hackers the world over have been hard at work exploiting just about everything they can. Next on their horizon, Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops

I thought Black Ops was already hit with hacks from hackers on all platforms (more are on maxconsoles with tutorials on the PS3, X360, and PC)?

It is hard to find Hackers when i play MW2 on my 360.

hazardman5634d ago

I think he was being sarcastic!

Kon5634d ago

@Below nope... If there are hackers, i am better than them cuz i never saw anyone shooting through walls, nuking(just 3 times). And i play MW2 since the launch. Besides, if i see a hacker i just report and he/she is banned.

morganfell5634d ago (Edited 5634d ago )

Anyone here still dumb enough to think these hackers were trying to help Sony and the PS3 community? Amazing how naive several posters were/are on this board.

Somehow I don't think George Hotz and fail0verflow are celebrating right now.

8thnightvolley5634d ago

these hacks have just made the ps3 like a 1 dollar street hook**

anything goes.

MintBerryCrunch5633d ago

wait, so every hacker is a ps3 jailbreaker and every ps3 jailbreaker is a hacker....

lol logic fail, the headline makes no sense

zag5633d ago

Thank god I traded in my copy of Black ops for Fallout New vegas before the hacks hit.

Edit-For all the idiots who still think New Vegas has bugs. Its been patched. Id rather play a game with a few odd looking trees here and their then a altogether broken game.

chester5634d ago

hacks for bugs. woot. lbp2 and mass effect 2 won't have either.......

Pixel_Enemy5634d ago

Yet another reason to stop playing black ops and wait for Killzone 3

hazardman5634d ago

I think he's being sarcastic..

I just decided to go back to playing Killzone 2. Good thing I did because Black Ops may just about to become a freak show.

@ Disagreers

Oh that's right. I forgot. NO ONE plays Killzone 2 anymore, right? What was I thinking? Sorry for the miscommunication there. Can I please have a bubble back now? Idiots.

Lord_Doggington5634d ago

you don't seem to understand how hard the ps3 was hacked. they have the master keys for all the systems, so they can essentially do whatever they want.

even the 360 hasn't been hacked to this degree

Lord_Doggington5634d ago

to all the disagrees please do your research
the ps3 has been 100% compromised. the 360 hasn't been.

the only hacking program for piracy on the 360 is jtag, which ms killed w/ nxe. also if you're seen online using jtag, you'll be banned w/in 3-4 hours.

it only works on old consoles, and if you're detected on Live as having it, they kill your console. and we all know what that means... you have to get a new console to get online.

although there are shortcomings w/ how MS is dealing w/ it, they are definitely in more control of things than Sony, who has pretty much given over control of the whole fucking console

cyborg69715634d ago

Lord doucheington you need to stay out of ps3 articles. Your a hack of a troll.

jimbone795634d ago (Edited 5634d ago )

Dude, Doggin is a troll, a PS3 troll. LOL you mistaked a PS3 troll for a 360 troll. Thats funny.

wissam5634d ago

if the ps3 hacked to its root. the x360 has been hacked to its soul.

Scary695633d ago

@Lord_Doggington
If you have done your research you would know that the next ps3 update is to detect the jailbreak and it suppose to ban you instantly.

the PS3 hacked!? how did i overlook this important piece of news?

Serjikal_Strike5634d ago (Edited 5634d ago )

yup and you can blame this asshole

Loner5634d ago (Edited 5634d ago )

FailOverflow done most of the work.They actually found the keys

@ Below

No they reverse engineered Sonys algorithm to get them

Silly gameAr5634d ago

Weren't these "keys" stolen?

Lord_Doggington5634d ago

sony should have used different keys for each system.

RememberThe3575634d ago

They should have done a lot of things different. They basically had one wall of defense and after they got through that it all came falling down.

ironmonkey5634d ago

and how bout the ones who dont give a fuck out being banned or one like myself who are banned but download and burn the shit out of 360 games? please, nxe aint gonna do shit or stop nothing. im still playing need for speed hot pursuit free!. now you get the fuck out.

Lord_Doggington5634d ago

have fun not playing on live whelp

Ares84PS35634d ago (Edited 5634d ago )

Now that the PS3 is hacked everything get's blamed on it.

Never mind that COD games where hacked to shit long before the PS3 was.

MW2 was unplayable a month after release. It had so many hackers and cheaters.

....obviously all this shit is the PS3's fault not the hackers fault.

Just show me another system that lasted this long without getting hacked!

distorted_reality5634d ago

People always look for someone to blame in times like these. Bottom line is though - no game is immune to hacks/cheats. Never have been, probably never will be. It sucks, but people just have to learn to live with it.

Kon5634d ago

"MW2 was unplayable a month after release" lmao it wasn't like that.

Ares84PS35634d ago

Almost every game I went into I encountered guys magically walking into walls and shooting people from within. Almost every game ended with an atom bomb. I stopped playing it because of this.

There where other stuff too but let's not get into it. These problems where stated a million times already.

deadreckoning6665634d ago (Edited 5634d ago )

"Just show me another system that lasted this long without getting hacked!"

Soooo...whats ur point? Its hacked NOOOW.

"Never mind that COD games where hacked to shit long before the PS3 was."

Ummm...not to the extent their being hacked now.

Chnswdchldrn5634d ago

I hope they ruin blackops and MW2 completely.

teach people not to buy shit games with overpriced DLC

SJPFTW5634d ago

yahh and the hackers will just move on to your favorite games noob

Omega Zues5634d ago

Keep pushing Hackers.

Only makes me hate you even more.

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.

FPS_D3TH495d ago

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt496d ago

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21496d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime495d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils495d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg496d ago (Edited 496d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg496d ago (Edited 496d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
