Symantec tags PSP Trojan

Symantec Security Response identified today the first PSP trojan (this is known since the 3rd of October). The Trojan.PSPBrick, is a Category 1 threat (Category 5 being the worst) and it renders the PSP useless (like a brick, hence the name).

The virus is downloaded like a hack/firmware that lets users run homebrew games on the PSP. When installed, it deletes some system files and breaks the PSP. This is not automatic, the user must choose to download it, meaning you’re safe if you don’t install dubious files.
