PSN Database 2.2 Million Credit Cards , Now For Sale

These really are disturbing news, according to RedmondPie, the PSN hacking issue going to be worse. When we know that database containing around 2.2 million sets of credit card details and they are up to sale to the highest bidder, this really horrible.


Unknown hackers are now extorting Sony by offering to sell them back cridet card details otherwise offering them up on underground credit card trading forums.
The really disturbing part of this is the news that these details actually include the CCV security code that until now was believed to be safe. With that code married to the card owner’s name as well as the rest of the card details then the card could be used without a hiccup – news that will no doubt send a shudder down many spines at Sony HQ as well as the70 million plus PSN members who’s data could have been compromised.
Warning : If you own a credit card registered in PSN, please keep an eye on it by online banking services, SMS or any other method (Let your friends know).

Unlock iPhone 4,3GS using Permanently IMEI unlock Method

Good news for iPhone 4, and iPhone 3GS users. Now you can permanently unlock your iPhone 4, and iPhone 3GS by using IMEI unlock method. This is a new remote unlocking method which will allow you to unlock your iPhone 4, and iPhone 3GS on any baseband using the IMEI of the iPhone. For this you don’t need to jailbreak your iPhone. As we know Ultrasn0w can not unlock iPhone 3G, 3GS on baseband 05.14.xx, 05.15.xx and 05.16.xx but using IMEI unlock method you can unlock your iPhone 3G, 3GS on baseband 05.14.xx, 05.15.xx and 05.16.xx.

Now We have Four Methods To Unlock Our iPhone

Method 1: Ultrasn0w


This is the most public method available for iPhone unlocking. As you know Ultrasnow working is based on iPhone basebands (01.59.00 / 04.26.08 / 05.11.07 / 05.12.01 / 05.13.04 / 06.15.00) these basebands can be unlocked using Ultrasnow. It is to remind you that a jailbroken iPhone is required to install Ultrasnow on your device.

Unfortunately Ultrasn0w doesn’t support the latest basebands (02.10.04 / 03.10.01 / 04.10.01 / 05.14.02 / 05.15.04) and we still waiting for the lastest Ultrasnow by the Dev-team that will unlock all above mentioned basebands.

Method 2: Gevey SIM

In this method you have to use a special SIM and call at 112 emergency number to get your phone activated, which might be illegal in some countries. Moreover it does not support all firmwares and basebands So it only unlock iPhone 4 running iOS 4.1 and 4.2.1 basebands 2.10.04 and 3.10.01. You will found troubles on following some steps on every reboot to get the signals of unsupported carrier. In contrast to Ultrasnow, you also have to pay few bucks to get it.

Method 3: Rebel Micro Sim Card.

Rebel Micro Sim Card may be similar to Gevey SIM, Rebel Sim can unlocks iPhone 4 basebands 1.59.00 / 03:10.01 / 02.10.04 / 04.10.01 running iOS 4, iOS 4.1, 4.2, 4.2.1, 4.3 & 4.3.1. The Rebel Micro Sim developer may be trying to solve the Gevey sim Problems
Rebel Micro Is like an Untethered Jailbreak means if you reboot your iPhone so you don’t have to do the procedure again and again. The signals will come up automatically.
It costs GBP 40 for Rebel Pro and GBP 30 for Rebel Lite. We don't know more about the that sim or the sim problems cause it sill new sim

Method 4: IMEI unlock

Click here to enlarge
@MuscleNerd the well -established online unlockers for other cellphone brands are suddenly today selling iphone unlocks..obviously something opened up
Click here to enlarge
@ Chronic iPhone is being repaired now so can’t test, but I know @CutYourSim is legit thru past dealings. I’m positive his unlock offerings are legit.
Notes: that IMEI unlock method is an official iPhone unlock so it does not affect your warranty status.
price of IMEI unlock method: is almost thrice as compared to GEVEY SIM ranging between $150 to $200 USD.
If you don’t want to pay money for unlock then you can wait for the free Ultrasn0w unlock.

redsn0w 0.9.6rc13:Untethered iOS 4.3.2 Jailbreak Redsn0w by Dev Team

Only a few weeks after the 4.3.1 untether created by @i0n1c was released, Apple pushed out firmware 4.3.2. Thankfully, it appears Apple didn’t have a chance to fix the hole used by @i0n1c’s untether, so he ported his code over to 4.3.2’s kernel. Today’s redsn0w has been updated to include it.
The 4.3.2 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.2 except for the iPad2:
  • iPhone3GS
  • iPhone4 (GSM)
  • iPod touch 3G
  • iPod touch 4G
  • iPad1

redsn0w 0.9.6rc13:
  • Windows redsn0w

As always, ultrasn0w unlockers should stay away from redsn0w and only update their firmware through a custom IPSW. We’ll release a new version of PwnageTool sometime this week.

Note that many people are currently having problems updating to 4.3.2 through saurik’s server. You’ll need to remove the gs.apple.com entry in your hosts file in order to restore directly to Apple’s servers.

Jailbreak Your iPhone on 4.3.2 with PwnageTool Bundles

As most of you  are already aware of, Apple released iOS 4.3.2 today. As usual, we recommend avoiding new Apple updates, as they can include patches to exploits used in the current jailbreak.
Since there has been no announcement from the Dev Team or anyone else that the 4.3.2 software is safe, we recommend to stay away. But for those of you who updated to take advantage of the FaceTime fix, or by complete accident, you’re not completely hopeless…

Earlier, Sebastien reported success in jailbreaking his iPhone 3GS with the latest version of RedSn0w. If you are looking for another option, you may want to try PwnageTool Bundles. The software package includes the latest version of PwnageTool, as well as the tethered boot app.
Only go this route if you already upgraded and don’t have an option. It is a tethered jailbreak, and those have a history of being somewhat sketchy. At any rate, RedmondPie has posted a tutorial for jailbreaking iOS 4.3.2 with PwnageTool Bundles for folks that are interested.

We should have official word on whether or not it is safe to update to 4.3.2 fairly soon. However, as Comex pointed out in an earlier retweet, it appears Apple started building iOS 4.3.2 the day i0nic’s untether was released. This could indicate that Apple fixed the untether in their “latest security updates.” We’ll keep you updated on 4.3.2 and other jailbreak news as it develops.
Have you updated to 4.3.2 and been able to jailbreak? Is the jailbreak tethered or untethered?

Upgrade to 4.3.2 all iPhones and iPods GSM (CDMA)

Apple has just released iOS 4.3.2 to iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4G, iPod touch 3G, iPad 1 and iPad 2. You can follow the below step by step guide to update your iOS device to the newly iOS 4.3.2.



Steps to Upgrade your iDevice to iOS 4.3.2
:
Step 1: Download your Firmware from the Links at the end of the post.
Step 2: Download and install iTunes 10.2.1 from Here.
Step 3: Connect your Device and Launch iTunes
Step 4: Right Click on the iPhone Icon on the left in iTunes and choose "Backup" (backup process will take place)
Step 5: After Backup your Data, Hold down Shift (Windows) / Alt (Mac) and click on Restore.
Step 6: Choose your iOS 4.3.2 firmware you already downloaded!

Now Let the iTunes do some processes then your Device will be updated as soon as iTunes finish its upgrade process.

Geohot and Sony Settled in PlayStation 3 Jailbreak Case

Last update regarding PS3 Jailbreak case. Sony and George Hotz (“Geohot”) today announced the settlement of the lawsuit filed by Sony against Hotz in federal court in San Francisco, California. The parties reached an agreement in principle on March 31, 2011. As part of the settlement, Hotz consented to a permanent injunction.

Both parties expressed satisfaction that litigation had been quickly resolved. “Sony is glad to put this litigation behind us,” said Riley Russell, General Counsel for SCEA. “Our motivation for bringing this litigation was to protect our intellectual property and our consumers. We believe this settlement and the permanent injunction achieve this goal.”

“It was never my intention to cause any users trouble or to make piracy easier,” said Hotz, “I’m happy to have the litigation behind me.” Hotz was not involved in the recent attacks on Sony’s internet services and websites.

In the action, SCEA accused Hotz of violating federal law by posting online information about the security system in the PlayStation 3 videogame console and software that SCEA claimed could be used to circumvent the security system in the console and allow the playing of pirated videogames. Hotz denies any wrongdoing on his part. Hotz’s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction was still pending before the federal court in San Francisco but a preliminary injunction was issued requiring Hotz to take down the postings challenged by SCEA.

“We want our consumers to be able to enjoy our devices and products in a safe and fun environment and we want to protect the hard work of the talented engineers, artists, musicians and game designers who make PlayStation games and support the PlayStation Network,” added Russell. “We appreciate Mr. Hotz’s willingness to address the legal issues involved in this case and work with us to quickly bring this matter to an early resolution.”

How To Unlock iPhone 4, 3GS on iOS 4.3.1 with Ultrasn0w 1.2.1 [Guide]

iPhone Dev-Team has released ultrasn0w 1.2.1 unlock to support iOS 4.3.1 unlock on old basebands and to fix signal issues which reported by some users after jailbreaking iPhone 4, 3GS on iOS 4.3.1
We’ve pushed out the 4.3.1 compatibility fix for ultrasn0w in Cydia — it’s now at version 1.2.1. If you’re not already at 4.3.1 and you need the unlock, please be sure you understand how to get to 4.3.1 using a custom IPSW that doesn’t update your baseband.

This isn’t a new unlock! It’s to allow those who are already unlocked to use FW 4.3.1. It also fixes the signal bar issue for those who aren’t using the unlock but retain an older baseband intentionally.

AFTER INSTALLING ULTRASN0W 1.2.1, PLEASE REBOOT YOUR iPHONE using the normal “slide to power off” swipe. T-Mobile users in the USA also should disable 3G mode in Settings->General->Network.


ONLY
Supported basebands: (01.59.00 / 04.26.08 / 05.11.07 / 05.12.01 / 05.13.04 / 06.15.00)

iOS 4.3.1 + bb prevention + new TinyUmbrella + you

 

First off I want to congratulate @i0n1c on his magic. Great job bud!

One question I've been getting quite often is "Will TinyUmbrella prevent iPhone 4 baseband updates for X version?" The simple answer to this question is: Yes. TinyUmbrella will, as far as I can tell, ALWAYS prevent iPhone baseband updates for the iPhone 4 GSM. This is due to a flaw in the way Apple tried preventing unauthorized baseband installs. They introduced a baseband shsh but unwittingly (or on purpose I don't know for sure) put into place a means for us to restore a firmware and prevent the bb update by merely ignoring the bb shsh request.

Now, that said, iOS 4.3.1 seems to have some kind of incompatibilities (the only notable one was mentioned by @musclenerd warning ultrasn0w unlockers to wait until a fix is pushed for 4.3.1 problems). This is likely why those of you that updated to 4.3.1 using TinyUmbrella are seeing oddities ie. One signal bar wherever you go. Hopefully, the incompatibility can be patched in the iOS layer allowing those of us that do not rely on unlocks to keep the old baseband as we all usually prefer :)
