Microsoft Xbox 360’s anti-hack security system has been Hacked

Claiming they’re more interested in hacking than piracy, the collaborative effort led by an individual known only by the handle TheSpecialist, hacked the player’s DVD drive firmware to play DVD R discs – rather than reject them. The video can be found here.
TheSpecialist said the modified firmware, which is believed not to bypass discs’ region encoding, would not be made public. Others have tried, however, and it may only be a short while before someone does. Microsoft will then presumably issue an update via its Xbox Live online service to repair the damage.
