Trojan.PSPBrick

Filed under: Security, Wireless — Bill Day @ 1:14 am

1UP just reported on the first known trojan targeting the Sony PSP.

Symantec’s Security Response center lists Trojan.PSPBrick as a low threat because PSP users have to deliberately download the trojan for it to do its thing. Nonetheless if they do, PSPBrick deletes system files, rendering the PSP a non-booting hunk-a-gunk (hence the catchy name, get it?).

PSPers beware: Make sure you know the source and full story behind a mod (whether you’re downgrading or upgrading) before you download it. Nuff said.
