"Your grandchildren and my grandchildren will be friends " The PSP is under-attack this we... Trojan attacks PSP...

Submitted by admin on Fri, 2005-10-07 07:00.

The PSP is under-attack this week, not from rabid Nintendophiles, nor from anti-gaming lawyers... not even from the entirely fictional members of the 'PSP Must Die Now' club. No, the PSP is being assaulted by a Trojan, being spread via email across the internet, masking itself as a file used by the PSP homebrew development community. Sony might be thinking that those naughty hackers unlocking the workings of the PSP deserve to have the their PSP firmware demolished by the nasty Trojan, but they probably don't want the systems incapacitated altogether.

This Trojan, first spotted by anti-virus software developers Symantec, is apparently the first malicious program targeting a gaming system, and can be applied to the PSP after being downloaded to a PC. The evil file in question is called "EXPLOIT 2G PSP Team v1.rar", and you're probably best avoiding it, really.
