Manufacturer breaks cover and comments on recent security breaches;
network updates planned.
遊戲主機製造商$QNY決定針對近日一系列安全措施遭到破解做出回應，$QNY計畫
藉由網路更新來增強主機的安全性。（退守到 PSN防線就是了）

Sony has at last broken silence on recent developments which have seen
its PlayStation 3's security measures completely defeated.
$QNY在其 PS3主機的安全措施徹底被破解後，沈寂了多日終於打破沉默，決定回
應。

The firm has remained resolutely tight-lipped since news broke that a
hacking group named fail0verflow had gained full control over the
system, after reverse engineering the code used to sign authorised
software as genuine.
相關人士對於主機安全措施遭到破解團隊fail0verflow徹底攻陷，並奪取主機的
主控權與安全簽證金鑰一事後仍然三緘其口。

Shortly afterwards iPhone hacker George "GeoHot" Hotz published the
console's "root key" online, enabling homebrew developers to create
and sign their own apps. Blu-Ray and PSP root keys have also since
been found buried within the PS3 and released online.
知名iPhone破解者George Hotz 將主機的「管理員金鑰」在網路上公開後，一夕
之間讓所有的自製軟體作者可以將自己的作品簽證成合法的程式，藍光與 PSP的
管理員密碼也相繼外流。

"We are aware of this, and are currently looking into it," Sony told
us in a brief statement. "We will fix the issues through network
updates, but because this is a security issue, we are not able to
provide you with any more details."
「我們已經瞭解這些狀況，目前正在深入調查當中。」$QNY的發言人如是說，「
我們計畫透過網路發布一系列的更新，畢竟這牽涉到安全的問題，詳細內容暫時
不能多講。」（友驊：這件事的內幕只有三個人知道，一個是我，一個已經死了
，另一個我不能說。）

Sony's response is at odds with comments given to the BBC yesterday
by fail0verflow member pytey, who said: "The complete console is
compromised – there is no way back."
在 BBC昨日與fail0verflow團隊成員之一的pytey 訪談當中，pytey 提到$QNY的
回應「非常詭異」，他表示：「整個主機平台都已經淪陷了，$QNY做什麼都只是
無謂的掙扎而已。」

"The only way to fix this is to issue new hardware. Sony will have to
accept this."
「除非更新硬體，不然沒其他的辦法，而且$QNY必須認清這個事實。」

Both fail0verflow and GeoHot are staunchly anti-piracy, and have not
released any tools that directly enable the playing of copied games,
but it is widely expected that piracy will soon be rife on what was,
until very recently, considered to be the most secure console ever
released.
fail0verflow與GeoHot雙雙重申他們反對盜版的立場，因此他們不會釋出任何可
以直接與盜拷遊戲掛勾的工具，然而全天下的人都知道，盜版馬上就會如野火般
開始延燒，延燒在這個一度被視為是全世界最安全的平台上。
