It seems that the all new open beta of Sony PlayStation Home is not safe; it has been less than a week since the public have been in and it has been hacked already.
The hacker goes by the name of StreetskaterFU and the hacker claims to have got into Sony’s Home servers and they are also providing instructions on how to do it yourself; uploading, downloading and indeed deleting files.
There is a poster on the PS3hax forums which claims to apparently have been used for the aforementioned method to change the posters and trailers in the Home Theater. Watch the video below and let us know what you think.

Haha, this is really easy to do ^^
Its not that he has changed things on the servers so that everyone sees the things that have been changed, only him and people who have set up their home client the same as him.
Playstation home uses web servers to put content out on the billboards and poster boards and movie screens etc, all it is, is a simple forwarder to your own content links, all you need is a webserver (which anyone can get).
Its hardly hacking, its just things kids do to try and impress their mates, the same thing can be done with games like WoW and RO, you can change the files and links in your client to have strange things like cars in WoW instead of horses etc.
Almost all the data for Home is streamed via the web, hence why things like downloading a new area is only 20mb.
I will see if I can find a link for you to show you how its done, I am sure somebody somewhere will have posted the method, its probably how this kid has done it in the first place.

Any ps3daily user could do this without any knowledge of hacking, packet sniffing or sending etc etc.
Its just a cheap trick to get attention, thats all.
