TheFloW
TheFloW is a PlayStation hacker who recently revealed the exploit chain for the BD-JB exploit. Since his disclosure, several hackers have developed their own implementations. One such implementation comes from Sleirsgoevy, who has released a version based on TheFloW's disclosure. However, TheFloW intentionally left out one exploit - the privilege escalation exploit.
Sony's Bug Bounty Program
A new screenshot of Sony's PS5 security system has been published online by hacker theFlow0. He is a veteran of the PS4 hacking community and was the brains behind the first PS4 jailbreak on Firmware 1.76. He is also known for regularly working on PS4 security. According to the hacker, he was contacted by Sony's security team to test a PS5 and received a $10k bug bounty. However, he hasn't publicly disclosed the exact vulnerability in the PS5's system.
BD-JB
PS5 users who are looking for a PS5 jailbreak should know that there are several exploits available for the PS5. A recent disclosure by PlayStation hacker TheFloW outlined the exploit chain that he used to create a PS5 jailbreak. A number of developers have released implementations based on his disclosure.

Homebrew apps
The PlayStation 5 jailbreak is not the first one released for this console. The PS4 had a long streak of being unhackable, but the recent update is a good sign for the future of homebrew development.
