Hacker Confirms PlayStation 4 Jailbreak! Exploit Could Open Doors for Pirated Games - ★ Eugtique ★ - Dec 14, 2015
Sony's PlayStation 4 – the hottest-selling gaming console in the United States – has been in the market for a while now, and since its release, hackers have been tinkering with it to find a way to run unauthorized software.
Though breaking the protection on PlayStation 4 is a huge deal, a hacker who calls himself CTurt has claimed to develop a fully jailbroken version of the PlayStation 4 with the help of a kernel exploit that he previously created.
The current jailbreak allows dumping of the system RAM from other processes and installing custom firmware that can be used to run homebrew applications that aren't approved by Sony.
Of course, there is still a few other security issues to get by, but it is a foot in the door for game piracy, which can affect the gaming market as a whole.
The Twitter account of CTurt seems to indicate that currently the exploit only works for PlayStation 4 firmware version 1.76, but apparently it can be tweaked to work for more recent firmware.

I don't know how legit this guy is.
It would be nice to see an actual demonstration on video.
The pictures he provided aren't necessarily convincing. One of them is a PS4 error message, he alleges that he tried installing custom font.
The file browser is based inside the PS4's internet browser. He would've just made a website that looked like it was accessing the internals.

Not convinced until I see video evidence of his claims. I'd love to jailbreak my PS4, though.

Seems like a lot of people know who CTurt is, this is the only place that I seen people sketchy about his supposed work, there's also a video where he got a gameboy emulator to play on a ps4, using the DS a controller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94Q91xDJatE
EDIT: check his Twitter, he has links to youtube video of him messing with his ps4. https://twitter.com/CTurtE
