Sony pays $50,000 for PS5 hypervisor bug, jailbreak scene unhappy

Sony paid researcher 2tonejordy $50,000 through its HackerOne bug bounty for a PS5 hypervisor vulnerability. PS5 Linux developer Andy Nguyen said he asked researchers to hold the report until GTA 6 launched, but it was submitted within a day; Jordy says someone else found the same bug with AI.

• The $50,000 payout went through HackerOne under Sony's bug bounty, launched in 2020
• Andy Nguyen asked to delay disclosure until GTA 6 and stepped back from PS5 Linux work
• Jordy says another researcher found the same bug using AI, not that it was handed to him
