Well, that was fast. A poster by the name of StreetskaterFU has outlined what he claims is a method of hacking into PlayStation Home’s servers for download, uploading and deleting files. We’re not able to verify his directions, but if true it would be a potentially calamitous oversight on Sony’s part. Additionally, a PS3hax forum poster claims to have used StreetskaterFU’s method and changed the movie posters and trailers and both outlines his methods and provides video proof. We haven’t seen any signs of this during our time with Home, but let us know if your virtual moviegoing experience has been drastically altered.

I’m fairly certain the question wasn’t IF but when… and the bigger question is WHY. Hackers rarely hack just for the sheer fun of it (although some still do) but the overall motivating factor is MONEY. So we must ask ourselves … how will hacking PS3 Home make someone money? Then we will be able to figure out a defensive strategy (or not).
