Someone has finally found a way to make a trojan for the PSP, and the results of the thing aren't pretty.  Masquerading as a hack for the handheld, players need to manually download and install the file themselves in order for the thing to latch its claws into the PSP.  With a file name of Trojan.PSPbrick, the malware lives up to its name by destroying key Firmware files, making it so that the PSP ceases to function, effectively turning the thing into a brick.  Since hacks are also against the terms of the PSP warranty, if this trojan attacks one's handheld, Sony will not repair it.
