Exploring the PS5 Security Landscape by SpecterDev at Hardwear.io 2023
Recently Hardwear.io shared a code riddle on Twitter, later confirming that @SpecterDev (Twitter) "will showcase the evolving attack surface & ushering in of modern mitigations like Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP), (SMEP) etc + investigate the internal workings of the PS5's hypervisor." 
To clear up presumptions of a PS5 Hypervisor Exploit disclosure in the PS5 Scene, SpecterDev stated on Twitter, "Just to clarify I won't be dropping new exploits/bugs it's mostly a reversing-focused talk and talks about exploitation techniques/mitigations on a whole

Backbone One: PlayStation Edition Launches for Android Devices
Proceeding the Backbone One: PlayStation Edition for iOS Devices last year, today Sony announced their officially licensed mobile controller's launch for Android devices as well. 
Here's all the Backbone One: PlayStation Edition for Android Device details courtesy of Backbone CEO Maneet Khaira via PlayStation Blog, to quote:
Today, we are thrilled to announce that Backbone One – PlayStation Edition, an officially licensed smartphone controller, is now available for both iOS and Android users internationally.
The reception we received when we recently announced Backbone One – PlayStation Edition for iOS has been incredibly exciting. We’ve seen many gamers take advantage of the PS Remote Play app feature, enabling gamers to play PS4 and PS5 games streamed from the console with the Backbone One – PlayStation Edition while they are out and about or anywhere in the home. It has quickly become one of the most popular gaming features on the BackBone platform.
We’ve heard repeatedly from Android users asking for the same best-in-class gaming experience, so we’re excited to now offer Backbone One PlayStation Edition for Android as well.
We’ve closely collaborated with the PlayStation team on the look and feel of Backbone One – PlayStation Edition for Android. The colors, materials and finishes are all inspired by the design of the DualSense wireless controller, including the transparent face buttons. It matches the look of the PS5 console, and if you already own the Pulse 3D wireless headset, you can connect it directly to your Backbone One via its 3.5mm headphone jack.
The latest update to the PS Remote Play app on Google Play allows for easy setup and play with Backbone One – PlayStation Edition. If you have access to broadband internet and a PS5 or PS4 console, plug an iPhone or Android device into the Backbone One and instantly start playing your PS5 and PS4 games with the power of the PS Remote Play app — whether that’s out and about or even elsewhere in the home.
