"Symantec Security Response experts identified Thursday the first Trojan that targets Sony Playstation Portable systems, Trojan.PSPBrick, as a Category 1 threat (Category 5 being the worst)."

"The virus is designed to look like a downloadable hack that lets users run their own games on the PSP.

Once installed, it deletes system files and breaks the PSP."

Oh Noes! Time for Antivirus app for the PSP. It will take up about 75.34312% of your resources...but this is what the world has come to.

Hold on a minute, this virus deletes people's files and then breaks a peice of hardware that costs $250. Yet Symantec only have it listed as a Category 1 threat (with 5 being worst)...

Well I suppose if you are dumb enough to download it you deserve to have a dead PSP.

Disregard if you are young and naiive

LOL. You guys should be proud! Your PSP has reached the significance required to attract the evil virus writing losers of the world! Not even Apple can achieve that status!

it's not a virus, it's a trojan. and it was produced as a result of the bickering among some hackers groups.
