Xbox 360 firmware hacked

Four months after its release, the Xbox 360 has had its firmware hacked, according to Xbox-Scene.

What does this mean? Well, it doesn't mean, for now, that people will be able to run homebrew games on their Xbox, but it does mean, according to the site, that players will be able to run bootlegs.

It's not easy, apparently, requiring some experience with assembly language. But for those for whom hacking is a way of life, beating the new Xbox at its game should be possible.

For now, and until Microsoft fights back. Though it's unclear how the software giant could stop hacking progress from moving forward.

Ms has cracked down on hackers using linux and evo x on the 360 but, thing is hackers are smart and know ways around ms. thats why ms is looking to set up a program that senses hacks. Its called auto ban, no matter if you firmware or hacks or your using mod chips/homebrews if the program picks it up your account and console gets banned with out warning. since the system has been updated by ms moders can no longer get around Ms auto ban program. ms techs have said that the program picks up even the slightest hacks even if they are on a memory card.
