The breaking of the software of PlayStations was a situation we have not encountered for a long time. In particular, Sony, with its 4th generation consoles, has dealt a very solid blow to the pirated content market, which has increased its effectiveness on PS3. However, today it was claimed that the software of PlayStation 5 was cracked by a hacker group.
Is the software of the PlayStation 5 broken?
The notorious hacker group Fail0verflow claimed in a post on Twitter that the PS5 had access to its root keys. The hacker gang did not provide any information on how it did this. He also did not make a statement that he would share this data widely.

Fail0verflow group of hackers tweeted this morning:
We have all (symmetrical) PS5 root keys. Also, if you look carefully enough, they are all available from this software, including the console root key!
Digital Foundry said in 2011 that Fail0verflow had ruined the PS3’s security. He also noted that the group gained quite a reputation by hacking the PS4 and making Linux and other proprietary firmware work on the Nintendo Switch.
What is the PlayStation cracking process?
You can think of hacking PlayStation as jailbreaking an iPhone or using the Windows operating system as a bootleg on your computer. These applications, which are installed on the device and make some changes in its software, enable paid or free games to be playable by anyone without paying any money.
Of course, having this process applied to your console does not mean that you will be satisfied. Because even if this does not cause any problems in the software, you will only be able to play the story modes. So you cannot participate in online games with a broken device.
Another disadvantage is that large-budget companies such as Sony have a very high investment in the field of gaming. Therefore, if a project is not profitable enough, or if it is used illegally by those who do not want to pay a fee, then there may be a possibility of withdrawal of these supports.
