PlayStation Network has a critical security vulnerability that remains unpatched six months after it was first disclosed in December 2025. The flaw allows attackers to take over user accounts using nothing more than a purchase transaction number from any old receipt, invoice, or screenshot. Security journalist Nicolas Lellouche had his own PSN account compromised twice, even though he had 2FA and passkeys enabled. Sony support can transfer account ownership after verifying the transaction ID. A temporary protection flag was applied but has since expired, and no permanent fix has been implemented.

PlayStation 5 Gains Near-Native PS3 Game Support Through RPCS3 on Linux In late April 2026, a modder named TheFlow released a tool called PS5-Linux. It allows Linux to run on the original PlayStation 5 consoles. It works only on the first version of the PS5, called the Phat model, with older software versions 3.xx to 4.xx. After Linux is running, you can install the free RPCS3 emulator. Early tests show good results with some games can even play directly from the original PS3 disc, The PS5 is much more powerful than the PS3, so games often run faster and smoother and also look better with higher resolution. There are limits: >It only works on older software. Updating your PS5 will stop it from working. >The newer slim PS5 models are not supported yet. >This is not made by Sony. It is a community project. >Setting it up requires some technical knowledge, but guides are available. This development lets compatible PS5 consoles play nearly the full library of PS3 games at high quality.
