Microsoft engineer Chris Satchell has gone on record with the BBC stating that the XBox 360 will contain security technology that hackers have yet to see. This is in an effort to keep users from viewing and downloading illegal content onto their consoles.
"There are going to be levels of security in this box that the hacker community has never seen before."
We've taken security to the hardware level and built it in from the ground up," he is quoted as saying.
He did however, add that "There are some really bright people in the world with some really expensive hardware. I'm sure sooner or later someone will work out how to circumvent security. But the way we have done the design doesn't mean that it will work on somebody else's machine."
