Interesting Rumor about cause of PSN outage

Just in case anyone wanted to read:

"The rumor in question relates to the Rebug Custom Firmware that could potentially allow users to log into PSN and appear as if they were coming from a developer console. The harm in this is that with these credentials, a user has access to download all available content on PSN for free by overwriting any permissions set in place to prevent this sort of thing from happening.

By logging in under the Rebug CFW you would be able to add "dummy funds" to your PSN account wallet and in turn shop to your hearts content (or at least until your hard drive is full). Something worth mentioning is that this hacked CFW would not allow anyone to view other PSN account holders credit card information, so we can rest easy on that one (if the rumor is true of course)."
