PS4 PSXHAX.com provides more fake PS4 news (They want your pageclicks for purposely misleading you)

Well this is nothing new but is very sad and well i figure I needed to speak on it a bit, since i get this questions about these type of claims often,, Scene sites are promoting FAKE NEWS left and right., It really should tell the user who is the creditable news sources in this scene and who is not. Why is psx-place.com not reporting the latest PS4 "progress" about 4.50 PS4 LINUX that has spewed out these fake news sites mainpage? Well, the simple answer is WE DO NOT REPORT FAKE NEWS, so that would be the main reason as there is no legitimacy to the claims of a PS4 4.50 Linux Hack. There is not much news for the end user on PS4 hacking,most of things stay private until they are ready or the time is right . Did you know about other groundbreaking exploits in advance or did they just appear?

Its seems like every month or so there is a new "holy grail" claim posted there and it attracts alot of clicks (there is your motive), Has anything come out of these past claims? No, because they are from horrible sources and anyone that has been in the community knows facts do not add up or there is simply no facts but just some user(s) posting random junk. but as long as you can get a title off it and write some BS along with it, then well you have the latest PS4 fake news story. Right now anyone could write some BS write up about PS4 hacking and it will posted it there on the mainpage and formatted by the site admin himself with various site links added and such.

The person with these claims is not the most trustworthy person (racer0018) as wololo.net has pointed out with the first initial claim of that hack was "detailed" on PSXHAX , Racer0018 has NEVER been considered a developer or hacker and was in the PS3 Community for awhile, so now this guys is going to pull a PS4 exploit out of his butt (i dnn't see an exploit but something dropping from that image above).. I highly doubt that to be the case.Infact the facts do not add up and someone with as many trust issues as both PSXHAX and racer0018 have in the community, safe to say this yet another troll attempt they are doing on the scene.​

We have a bad source on the information, with claims and BS wrapped in those claims and we have a dishonest scene site who is promoting this claim in PSXHAX (aka PS3news aka PS4news) So no real facts , no details and comes from this untrusted source.​

Already it seems like they are preparing the delivery of disappointment with news that now 4.50 release. They chose to say it works on the beta 4.50 (with no proof) so they could then claimed Sony patched it later. A real hacker would not even talk about something until 4.50 was already public,

We have been working hard to bring this to you, I have read a lot or what people are saying and we are working on this and will get it out as soon as we can. As of right now we think it's ready but we are waiting for the public 4.50 to come out before we move forward. That is the end game, will it be there when they release it?

If it isn't we have found something else in lower firmware that shows a lot of promise. I'll have @kane1 post the firmware version once it's confirmed for sure. If they botch 4.50 we are hoping that we can offer 2 things, one is being able to install beta on any system and also releasing it for a lower firmware for the ones that have stayed on it.

From last nights talk with the group, they have asked me to make the video and post it online, I have said no i don't want to because of all the heat I'm getting from people of the scene so @kane1 will be doing this, he has 3 systems and they cover each one, he has a ps4 pro, ps4 launch and a ps4 slim. So he has us covered. Thanks all and happy testing.

This whole idea that a hack on lower firmware is good for the PS4 community is funny as well. ITS A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE that will stay on lower firmwares and even if you are in that group you wont get much out of it . WHY? because it will be a ghost town!!!!! you think certain scenes are dead, a firmware that a couple hundred even thousand (which is too much to say honestly) is not going to be any good for the PS4 community in terms of launching what the PSP / PS3 / Vita / PlayStation TV has done with hacks that originate on the current firmware at that time. the hacks for those other systems did not come on a previous firmware they originated on the latest firmwares. Which is a huge difference, 4.0X is no different then 1.76 right now. If majority of devs / people can't easily reach that firmware then development will be very slooooooowwwww. Has there been an explosion on 1.76? So what would make 4.0x different?​

I don't see much of this but some tired excuses of why they could not do it, Likely the claim will be Sony patched it ing 4.50 or they will blame it on the community not believing them or something dumb.

Fake PS4 news is nothing new and seems that PSXHAX is the catalyst in the scene in promoting these scams, Here is some past articles we have done on the shady world of PS4 Hacking news:

This story here was a fake dev, seeking donations They (psxhax) frontpage this without checking into at all and from a random no name member, who later they banned and removed the link, but it spread like wildfire because of them promoting this scam (and also gave the guy dev status as well then, so you can't trust who these guys label as developers). Also, here was a story and view from wololo.net also giving a bit of warning on this same subject


The Place that gives you news you can trust PSX-Place.com

Update: They have said it does not work on 4.50, now that is shocking (well not really, as they were putting that thought out there before 4.50 went live).

and then suddenly, I get dragged into as if I am involved with this site, I was not even a member, that is the part I call 'Site Wars', pulling in names, and dirt and other things totally unrelated to the original topic or point of bringing awareness to the subject.

It's not really suddenly, a few months back when @STLcardsWS and i bitched about something on a thread over at PSXHaX, i think it was something to do with the copy/pasting but i cannot remember, PSXHaX started throwing accusations at STLcardsWS, throwing mud at @Grimm, claiming that he was either you or affiliated with you.

So this article is at least 6 months in the making, the fake Linux news was what pushed STLcardsWS to the limit, you were only mentioned here due to the stupid claims by PSXHaX, it was not as far as i can see to bring you into any drama or 'site wars'
 
@GregoryRasputin - At least its only a ban, for me they geo-blocked all the ips from the dominican republic, but nothing worth reading over there anyway. :)

Edit: Oh, you are saying the 'host' turned off the site. -- I guess they ran out of money! :)

Blocking the entire Dom Rep because he doesn't like you, has to be the most immature crap i have witnessed.

I guess is because they linked latest $DK on their site, and strongly promote that fact.
You get it even if you haven't linked to the files, in my case it appears to be the screenshot of the PS4 $DK that got me into trouble:

S#ny didn't react with much finesse to this ps4 sdk leak...

Everything taken down in a few hours & punishment handed down like sweeties, everyone having to submit in one way or another to mighty S#ny's will...

Sure at the end of the day, legally, there's a licensing issue but still, all this happening in a few hours, in a judge & jury manner... All players involved bowing down, Web hosting companies, File hosting companies, Twitter etc...
Personally I cannot help but find this display of power disturbing & distasteful at best...

As a side note, by taking swift & decisive action against the ps4 sdk leak, s#ny is also telling us much about how much it cares (or doesn't care for that matter lol) about the ps3 sdk as the recent 4.75 leak added to the exhaustive list of available leaked ps3 sdks on psxhax, never got an ounce of attention from them..
 
Just to make me lie, the ps3 sdk threads have just been taken offline lol...
The ps3 sdk threads were still up last night while anything related to the ps4 sdk was already removed or edited on psxhax.
I assume it's the avalanche effect because the public availability of the ps3 sdk never seemed to bother s#ny for the past year...
Anyway the few links that survived (eurasia.nu for instance) are useless because Mega, Mediafire etc... removed the files..
