When using Webman as long as you are on your PS3 and if someone else has your PS3 IP they can connect to your PS3 via their PC from anywhere.
Why is this bad? Because they can see Your Console ID in Webman, also steal files from your PS3, Spam messages or annoy the shit out of you and keep turning your ps3 off.
Even worse if they wanted to they could brick your console.
Now some might think "well I'm all good cause no one has my PS3 IP" Wrong, there is ways to grab PS3 IP's and im not going to get into all of them but one that you should watch out for is Real Time Modding Tools.
Just a heads up and thought it was only fair that everyone knew about this cause it is kinda sick watching people sell tools while they are stealing your ID's and then selling your ID to someone else.
You can still use Webman if you like but i would not suggest it, maybe the creator will see this and patch the exploit but who know's.

They would have to have your external IP address to access your PS3. Plus that's not even possible because a port would have to be forwarded or put said device in DMZ mode. Private and external ip addresses are completely different. Webman has an always active FTP, meaning you can FTP in game, at the XMB, wherever. Extremely useful if you ask me. Modding is blahhh though, might as well just throw your PS3 out the window, that's how lame it has gotten.

Wrong and wrong again. Not sure why you think you know more about this subject then I do but i have seen it done and tested it myself on a friend by sending messages to his PS3 via my PC. There are a handful of people who know about this so i have nothing to prove or argue about there. Fact of the matter is this is possible and has already happened to many people.
Btw if you feel that way about modding then why post such a useless comment when you clearly know nothing about what is being said here. Not trying to be a dick but your comment is invalid. and this is a serious matter for new / young modders who are oblivious to this going on.

*Some members say the newest version of Webman has patched this exploit, so if you prefer using Webman then update to the latest version of the app. I have not looked into this so I can not say for sure if the exploit has been patched or not.

when i heard about this awhile back i just put a password on my webman FTP so if the person tried using my ip to get my stuff it would tell them the password is wrong.
