    This article seems to be completely based on the X post by the reverse engineer DiscoStarSlayer : <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;DiscoStarslayer&#x2F;status&#x2F;2099132300390744320" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;DiscoStarslayer&#x2F;status&#x2F;2099132300390744320.

    That post reads &quot;After 4 years of effort, I&#x27;m happy to announce that one of the final secrets of the PS2 has been broken wide open!

    It&#x27;s been a long process of decapping, optical dumping, and now at last a software solution.

    Thank you Libby for finding the exploit from our dirty optical dumps!&quot;

    Yesterday DiscoStarSlayer also promised details are coming: &quot;Will share full write-up on how we got here soon!&quot;
