What does it mean that a mp3 player has been hacked?

[breneer]

What does this mean? It says that is has been hacked. I dont get it?


"teen , regarding your friend's 108MB player, if the format had been done, the actual memory capacity is 128MB. If the player initially showed more than 128MB (eg 1GB or 4GB), it has been hacked. "

It is quite simple and straight forward, isn't it?

There is a bag somewhere in your hardware that doesn't recognize the true value of the memory or storage space. According to the designer this is due to a virus of some kind. What is you don't understand? Maybe there is a stolen- .mp3- vrus around or some manufacturer is causing this problem for you to stop downloading free music.
