Kevin Butler account accidentally retweets PS3 exploit

They should have left the tweet there, as if it was on purpose :P

That guy ALWAYS knows what's up. Yeesh. And he grows a mean moustache.

Lol. Somebody got fired.

Hey, I thought the battleship joke was funny...

Its not like its a big secret anyway...that key is pretty much everywhere now.

And then Joystiq posts the code on their website.

It's the dongle code, not the root. Jokes on everyone else

If there's anything the Joystiq forums have taught me it's that people who pass this key around are only interested in warezing as many PS3 games as they possibly can while huffing kitten paws.

I certainly hope Sony moves with all haste to take down this Butler d-bag by any legal means possible. Before he racks up any more CoD wallhax.

Every great man has a moment of humility.

Kevin Butler messing it's not possible stop with your lies joystiq!

Eh, I'll get interested in the codes when someone makes a way to grab my old saves off my dead PS3's drive. Until then... B-14.

OoOooh No! You shanked my jengaship!

Err...joystiq....should you not hide the code?

*snicker*

He should have just Tweeted back 'You may have sunk my Battleship - but here's some Chess : 'Knight to Bishop-4 - Checkmate' - Vice President of Cross Gaming Chat'

So he made a joke and people at Sony didn't seem to like it. I don't see the reason why we should make a big deal about that, honestly.

SO ....Kevin got sued by Sony?

Also even if he hadn't have tweeted the key back, all it takes is for someone to look at the thread of twitter replies, and they'd have seen the original tweet from, exiva, the arrogant stupid modder fokker with the key in anyway.

If they weren't coming after you before, they sure as hell are now

in the words of kevin bulter he would say: You cant always believe wat u read on the "INTERNET".

I really didn't get it... is KB responsible for anyone who tweets about the PS3? Come on people, go make something useful.

Kevin Butler VP of l33t hax

LOL. That is funny. :p

Even if that exploit has been patched, could it hurt their case for the fact a company rep basically promoted something similar?

Dude...

Totally understandable. A lot of marketing reps who control accounts like these don't always have the most intimate connection with the details of their product. There should always be a strong knowledge base, but I guess minute information like this gets bypassed when you've got work to do?

I think that Kevin Butler made his battleship coordinates the same as the dongle code only makes it even MORE badass. Amirite?

Why would they let an actor access to their twitter account?
Their not smart or clever....THEIR ACTORS!
Without words given to them they have nothing to say.

How do you tell the difference between battleship and a Hacking key?

YOU DON'T.

"always saying and doing exactly the right thing for the company's image."

Since when is stealing test cars and talking down to consumers the right thing for their image?

PR facepalm if there ever was one.

That's lawl-ful

Joystiq is doing a lot better at spreading the code around with this article.
