Sony efforts fail to thwart Vita hacks

Sony is seemingly fighting an uphill battle against Vita hackers as new firmware fails to prevent a new homebrew hack from emerging soon after Sony's scrambling recovery.

But, it seems, its rapid effort were in vain.
Hackers claim to have found another PSP game that opens the door to homebrew on Vita including, unfortunately for Sony, on the new firmware. Videos of the original Doom for PC running on a Vita with the latest firmware installed have already emerged.
What PSP game is it? The hackers are staying tight-lipped for now to slow down any potential response from Sony. But the to-and-fro battle with hackers has certainly begun.
