Xbox 360 to be Hack Proof
|
Can't Post

|
According to Xbox 360 engineer Chris Satchell and BBC News, Microsoft's next generation console will have security built directly into the hardware to make it virtually "unhackable".
The first Xbox's security vulnerability allowed users to modify the hardware (via a modchip) and/or software to upgrade the console's hard drive to illegally store games and emulators. But Microsoft is taking precaution with the Xbox 360 to make it as hack-proof as possible.
Satchell says that the Xbox 360's security has been built from the "ground up" with custom silicon, giving Microsoft the ability to create new levels of security that even the hacker community has "never seen before".
Satchell admits that hacking the Xbox 360 hardware may not be
completely impossible, but will take a considerable amount of time,
money, and expensive hardware, meaning the effects probably won't be
widespread.

Ruby,
In my years of watching hackers do what they do best, I have found that NOTHING is unhackable. Where there's a will, there's a way. And I believe that the XBOX 360 will be cracked sooner or later by the internet's most imfamous hackers.

Even microsoft knows it will be hacked, however, the harder they make it hackable, the more expensive it will be to hack, hence, less people will try.
