PS5 caught downloading GTA 6 over plain HTTP with no encryption or auth
evilsocket · x · 2026-11-11
A user inspecting network traffic while downloading GTA 6 found the PS5 downloads games over plain HTTP on port 80 — no HTTPS, no authentication. Anyone on the same Wi-Fi can see what you're downloading and potentially intercept data mid-transfer. The post mocks Sony for shipping a $500 console in 2026 with a download pipeline less secure than a free WordPress blog, while browsers force HTTPS everywhere.
