Bounty Offers $10K to Unlock PS5 as a Computer

A $10,000 bounty has been announced to encourage hackers to break Sony's security restrictions on the PlayStation 5, allowing it to run arbitrary software like a general-purpose computer. The goal is to restore features that were removed to prevent piracy and modding. This matters because it could open the PS5 to homebrew applications and custom operating systems, but also raises security concerns for Sony.
