Sony claimed that Blu-Ray was inpenetrable, but it’s now been cracked by some hardcore hackers, just last week. If you are new to Blu-Ray, here is a little explaination. Blu-Ray or Blu-Ray disc is the new generation of optical disc format, which enables recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. The format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc.
The current report is only the partial crack, a full crack is just in a matter of days. Those geeks managed to take down the DRM wall and grasp the AACS encryption, just as they did on Toshiba’s HD format. It sounds like the more so-called uncrackable disc formats the industry trying to produce, the more these hackers are feeling challenged to crack it!
