Sony's Kevin Butler, the character played by actor Jerry Lambert in PS3 commercials, accidentally retweeted the PlayStation 3 security key this morning, but has since taken it down.
The USB dongle ID generator key, which has been used by hackers to create signed firmwares and homebrew, was posted by @exiva originally.
Said Travis La Marr (@exiva):

[Edited for legal reasons]xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx Come at me, @TheKevinButler

Butler, clearly misunderstanding the reference, wrote back:

Lemme guess... you sank my Battleship? RT @exiva: xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx Come at me, @TheKevinButler

The gaff is notable because Sony recently expanded their lawsuit to include anyone caught sharing the code, via Twitter, YouTube, PSX-Scene and more.
