This boy has been very famous in such acts because in the past years it has really given a very tough time to the Apple in 2007 by allowing iPhone to access other wireless Networks and run on any of them. This time he has claimed that his actions will let PS3 users to run new unauthorized software on their system and this software could include any of those games which are not officially accessible for the PS2.
