First PSP Trojan Reported

Posted by Zonk on from the watch-what-you-click dept.

Evangelion writes "PSP hackers beware! According to 1up.com today, Symantec has identified the first PSP Trojan in the wild. Known as Trojan.PSPBrick, it turns the PSP into, well, a brick. With buttons. Users have to download and install it themselves, and as a result it effectively breaks the PSP."

    It's not a virus. It is a Trojan horse. A program which claims to be something beneficial but in reality just messes your computer up.

    "Don't download and install it."

    I'm sure if it's listed as "PSP Trojan Horse - turn your PSP into a useless brick" - nobody would download it.
