Brazilian pirates find way to hack PS4, install pirated games

14 May 2015

Wololo.net is reporting on an original story by Brazilian site UOL Jogos, who claim that hackers in the country have found a way to hack the PS4 and install pirated games.

According to the english site, journalists at UOL have witnessed the hacking first-hand. It’s claimed that electronics stores in Sao Paulo are changing between $100-$150 USD to install 10 pirated games on a hacked PS4.

Sony Brazil is also allegedly sending cease and desist notices to sites that are advertising the hacking technique, which essentially emulates a valid account — alongside valid game licenses — on a PS4.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
