"Responsible reporting" is for security vulnerabilities... It's extremely hard for me to believe that jailbreaks like this should be considered security vulnerabilities, especially if it's something local-only or otherwise limited to something only the owner of the device would feasibly be able to do.
Does anyone believe the portable is actually a more secure device now than it was before this patch?
Unfortunately, the way that jailbreaks are done is by exploiting actual security vulnerabilities. So yes, responsibly reporting them is the right thing to do.
Our ire here should be for Sony, for not supporting this through an official safe method. Not for security researchers just doing security research.
I believe it‘s less secure now because it‘s future became more uncertain. How can we be sure it won‘t become a glorified brick the moment servers shut down?
