It turns out that PSVita users might potentially have privacy issues with Sony, that's related to the following:
1- Sony forces a PSVita software update to the latest version in order to use PSVita's Content Manager.
2- Content Manager needs to be connected to the Internet in order to work, even to copy a single music file to/from the PSVita.
3- Content Manager checks for the PSVita having the latest software version in order to work.
4- Content Manager could be (and probably is) connected to Sony's servers and sending logging information about anything being done on the PSVita.
5- There is no clear statement or deceleration from Sony to confirm that they are not collecting information from PSVitas through their Content Manager, or explaining what they would do with such information.
6- Sony could probably detect possible software exploits (and fix them) at early stages of development and even before their actual public releases by collecting file access and logging information from PSVitas through Content Manager.
Therefore, It might be required to hack Content Manager BEFORE making any actual progress on hacking the PSVita itself.
