Hackers take whole two days to hack PSP 5.0 firmware

The Sony PSP just received its fifth major firmware upgrade the other day. The upgrade, among other things, allows users to access the PlayStation store to download goodies directly on to the popular portable. Well, it remained hack free for a paltry two days before the illustrious "Dark_Alex" hacked into it. He changed the code to make it safe for homebrew enthusiasts to receive the update without losing programs or data. Wait, that doesn’t sound very dark. Next he is going to hack it so it helps old ladies cross the street and retrieves cats from trees. Thanks Alex!
