PS3 is the main target of hacker from couple of weeks. It seems that hackers didn’t take the Sony’s actions against Geohot seriously because another hack has come on scene by which you can stop your PS3 to get updated on any next firmware automatically. Rebug team just released a spoofer v3.56 for PS3 which will do the above said task.

3.56 Version Spoofer does exactly what it says and can restore back to 3.55 if needed. It was never intended to allow PSN access but to stop the system from updating to 3.56(I made it shortly after KaKaRoToKS had his false alarm).
