PS3 [WARNINGI] PS3 Firmware 4.82 Appears to be Live - Likely to close 4.81 exploit (PS3Xploit)

UPDATE >>>>: Its appears that 4.82 DID NOT close the PS3Xploit.

It appears Sony has released a system update to Firmware 4.82 for the PS3, which is likely to close and patch the recent 4.81 exploit (PS3Xploit) as expected, The update came a bit quicker then many (including myself) expected, but you just never know with these type of things. If you planned to take advantage of the PS3Xploit hacks (Software Downgrader / Possible HEN (Homebrew Enabler) on Super Slims) DO NOT UPDATE TO THIS NEW OFFICIAL FIRMWARE 4.82, Stay on Firmware 4.81. As this firmware is investigated by scene developer's and also as Sony releases official details will be posted/updated in this article.​

Current CFW user's be sure to keep this thread in your bookmarks, As updated CFW ad new homebrew are released to support 4.82, we will add in our list that you can find >>> here <<<

    Unofficial Details:
    • Patched PS3Xploi (unconfirmed) UPDATE: PS3Xploit was not patched,

Update the PS3Xploit exploit was not patched, thus did not close the exploit. It seemed a bit fast for Sony to patch to quickly, was just coincidence that Sony had a planned update in the works, but I WOULD EXPECT SONY TO PATCH THIS EXPLOIT in the coming weeks.

Was surprised, but i am sure they wanted to get ahead of the project. Leak messed up more then it would of ever gave user's ..
Yes, and all this happened in a weekend, there are many new pages that have not advised about the fact that a new official firmware release was highly probable to happen
Mostly because are web pages that does not update the frontpage at weekends
And other pages where they did not give the importance it had so has been published "just" as a IDPS dumper, but the fact is the webkit exploit/s is a door wide open to hack all PS3 models
 
whoever leaked that stuff was a grade A douche. someone on temp was trying to post the leaked files. he seemed very proud of himself too. I hope that member was banned.

Alot of people are not using their PS3's the same as they did before and some stay powered off more often so if that apsect compared to 1 year, 2 ,3, 4, years ago a quick update like this is less impactul. Some will miss the boat as it was so quick.but overall the update is not as impactful these days.
 
so what you guys think is going to happen now?

Not much, Same as before .. This was expected, (but just a week or two later)

Only issues with this update is that some people may know of the exploit whomay of wanted to use it and they update to 4.82 before knowing not to.

Once the leak happened of some of the files, Sony had enough to patch. The team wanted to be finished and then released

whoever leaked that stuff was a grade A douche. someone on temp was trying to post the leaked files. he seemed very proud of himself too. I hope that member was banned.

No doubt a dumb move, but they usually are and serve no purpose.

HMM can we guess the changelog? Let's review the past

Will this be quality & system performance or just one.

An exploit like that would be ideal for the PS3.
Sony can finally stop stabilizing our systems then hahah :)

"This system software update improves the reliability of the quality of the system performance, so now you can make sweet love to it without fear of developing that embarrassing rash that was common in previous versions. You can even take it home to meet your parents and family over the holidays and not worry about it sleeping with your sister"
