Relapse exploit enables PS5 jailbreak on nearly all firmware versions

A new exploit named 'Relapse' allows users to jailbreak PlayStation 5 consoles running firmware versions 7.00 through 13.60, bypassing previous limitations that required older, unupdated hardware. The exploit uses a WebKit vulnerability and kernel error to gain full system control, enabling homebrew software, emulators, and pirated games. While it expands access for most users, consoles updated to the latest firmware 14.00.00 remain secure. This development follows recent turmoil in the PS5 hacking community regarding AI-assisted exploits and Linux porting efforts.

PS5 and PS5 Pro Jailbreak Exploit Released, Affecting All Consoles on Firmware 13.60 and Below

A new jailbreak exploit has been released for both the standard PlayStation 5 and the PS5 Pro, allowing users to bypass system restrictions. The exploit works on consoles running firmware 13.60 and earlier, but does not affect systems updated in the past week. Sony has not officially commented, but the risk of permanent PSN bans and hardware damage is high.

Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 Returns Online as US Lifts Export Rules

The U.S. Commerce Department has lifted export controls on Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5, allowing the model to go back online worldwide on July 1 across Claude.ai, the Claude Platform, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork. The controls had blocked access for foreign nationals after a jailbreak prompt could bypass safety rules; Anthropic says it patched the issue with a new safety classifier that blocks the technique in over 99% of attempts and reroutes problematic requests to the weaker Opus 4.8. Mythos 5 remains under tighter restrictions. Access began for about 100 U.S. companies and federal agencies on June 26, with plans to widen further; the company is introducing a standardized jailbreak severity scoring system and a HackerOne program for researchers, reflecting ongoing governance and risk-management efforts around frontier AI models.

Anthropic, White House Stay Complicated Over Claude Fable 5 and Jailbreak Concerns

The White House has not lifted export controls on Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 after Monday talks, with officials worried the jailbreak risks could enable Mythos-like capabilities; Anthropic argues safeguards are strong and presses for a path to consumer use, as Commerce Department, NSA, and company leaders continue negotiations that will influence how advanced AI models are released and regulated in the U.S.

Policy clashes push Anthropic's flagship AI offline

Anthropic's Mythos and Fable were taken offline after the White House imposed export controls tied to a cyber executive order; Anthropic says it had explicit government approval to deploy Fable, while officials say the company failed to heed the order and distributed a jailbreak. The spat highlights regulatory and communication hurdles as the government moves to govern frontier AI, with Commerce, CIA, and White House science staff set to meet to align on safeguards and compliance.

AI jailbreakers push safety to the edge by coaxing dangerous outputs from chatbots

A growing community of ‘jailbreakers’ tests large language models by manipulating prompts and social tactics to bypass safety rules, revealing how even frontier AI systems can be coaxed into dangerous outputs. The piece profiles practitioners like Valen Tagliabue and David McCarthy, explains how firms patch vulnerabilities, and underscores the ongoing risk as AI becomes more capable and integrated into everyday devices and workflows.
