If you plan on using your Xbox 360 with modified drive firmware from our
friend c4eva any more, please do not update yet! Microsoft today has rolled
out a new kernel update to their dash which does ap25 checking on the fly.
Which will pretty much render the firmware hack useless..

Quote From An Inside Source:

It was a great day for the Playstation 3, and a horrible one for the Xbox
360. It took Sony 4 years to get hacked, while it took Microsoft 4 years to
actually get their security right. The kernel 2.0.12625.0 in the new
dashboard update has been updated to do on the fly ap25 patching. 3 Non AP25
games were tested, and all of them give you a black screen forcing you to
reboot. BlackOPS, Modern Warfare 2, and Halo Reach were amongst the one's
tested. Although we will not see ban flags coming from this, as LT+ protects
us from the ban, drive firmware hacking is pretty much a thing of the past.
