XBox 360 to be Unhackable
By:Mark Woodward
Chris Satchell - Xbox360 engineer - has announced that Microsoft's next generation console will have security built directly into the hardware to make it virtually "unhackable".
The first Xbox's security vulnerability allowed users to modify the hardware (via a modchip) and/or software to upgrade the console's hard drive to illegally store games and emulators. But Microsoft is taking precaution with the Xbox 360 to make it as hack-proof as possible.
Satchell says that the Xbox 360's security has been built from the "ground up" with custom silicon, giving Microsoft the ability to create new levels of security that even the hacker community has "never seen before".
Satchell admits that hacking the Xbox 360 hardware may not be completely impossible, but will take a considerable amount of time, money, and expensive hardware, meaning the effects probably won't be widespread.
